Envy 13-ah0003na
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

 

I have an HP Envy 13-ah0003na S/N: 8cg8506snm and I would like to connect it to my external VGA monitor.

The monitor works with other laptops.

I have tried a USB-C to VGA adaptor (ARKtek)

I have tried an HDMI to VGA adaptor (Benfei)

I have used f4 to set the laptop to display on a monitor.

So far I have been unable to get the monitor to display anything at all or even get the laptop detect that there is a monitor connected. 

 

I would like to display my laptop screen on a monitor using the USB-C port.  Is this possible?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Your monitor ONLY has VGA port (analog) therefore any video out from your computer (digital) needs a proper converter. Why not buy a new monitor with proper port(s) to get better, clearer screen.  Now, please check pro and cons between buying new monitor and a proper converter.

 

I woul buy a new monitor I know it is more expensive but better, clearer and longer life (relatively).

 

Regards.

I appreciate the reply however any monitor I buy would still require an adaptor to connect to the usb port.

As the 2 adaptors I have tried will not allow me to connect to a monitor it would be foolish to purchase a third adaptor and a new monitor while this issue remains unresolved.

If it is not possible to connect an external monitor to the HP Envy then I will return the product and request a refund.
