DELL INSPIRON 1440
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I JUST BOUGHT A HP 23ER MONITOR AND IM TRYING TO HOOK IT UP TO A DELL INSPIRON 1440. THE MONITOR IS A HP T3M76AA AND HAS A TV STYLE HDMI AND THE DELL HAS A USB A RECTANGLE PORT. I BOUGHT A ADAPTOR SO I CAN PLUG IT IN MY LAPTOP. WHEN I TURN ON MY MONITOR IT SAYS NO SIGNAL. I ALSO CHANGED CABLES WITH 3 OTHER ONES AND NO CHANGE. I WENT TO DEVICES IN SETTINGS AND HIT DETECT AND NOTHING. I WENT TO DRIVERS AND IT SAID I WAS UP TO DATE SO IM LOST HERE. I DONT KNOW A LOT ABOUT COMPUTERS SO I NEED ALL THE HELP I CAN GET.  THANK YOU

I ran into a similar situation with my desktop connecting to a monitor through a USB-to-VGA adapter.  I had to go through three adapters of the same kind until I got one that came with its own drivers.  That is the only one that worked.

 

You probably will have to do the same and you will also need to contact DELL to see what they recommend.
