new monitor with old pc

External Since: Sep 19, 2005 Posts: 1

I have a noname PC that does not send a signal to either of my HP
monitors. I'm told that the "original" monitor worked fine. Is this
most likely a compatibility problem with the video card?

Thanks.

unlikely...a monitor is a monitor, the only thing that can cause a problem
is if you have the refresh rate and screen size are out of limits of the
monitor, but you will get an error message. I think its your video card.
These are not HP LCD monitors are they?...and if they are HP's 1703 LCDs
monitors, they are on a recall.
