My new Acer S201HL DVI-capable monitor arrived today. Naturally, the instructions on how to install it are on the enclosed cd-rom which can't be read until the monitor is installed and working.
Anyway, I attached the heavy DVI cable I bought at ENU to both the monitor and the system and turned on the monitor. No signal it kept telling me. So I tried the DVI cable that came with it. Same result: no signal. As a last resort, I used the VGA cable. Signal. Reading the manual suggests that the vga cable needs to be attached along with the dvi cable. Does this make sense? If this is the case, I cannot use the heavy ENU cable as its plug is too big to fit the socket with the vga plug installed. The Acer dvi cable is thinner with smaller plugs.
