Monitor will not work with Chromebook

[Parker1400]

I'm having some troubles with a monitor my friend gave me recently. My friend gave me an HP w2408h monitor that worked perfectly fine for him. This monitor works as it's supposed to with my old Microsoft laptop and with my friends Microsoft laptop. I've used HP monitors before as my old monitor was an HP 2010i and it worked great with my old Microsoft laptop and my current Chromebook that runs chrome OS. But with this new monitor, when I connect my Chromebook to my new HP monitor, the input is not recognized by the monitor and it immediately goes into sleep mode. This never happened with my old HP monitor or was any other monitor I've used, why is this? I don't have another option to use for a laptop at the moment and I need to be able to get this to work. Is there anything I can try to get this monitor to work with my Chromebook? Any help would be much appreciated. I decided to try my old hp monitor again last night and now that one wont even work when I had been using it perfectly fine for over a year.
