Enable Power Saver Mode for HDMI to VGA connection on your Dell monitor.
Enable Power Saver Mode for HDMI to VGA connection on your Dell monitor.
Hello, thank you for reaching out. I understand your concern and reviewed your setup carefully. It seems like you've tried several configurations before finding a solution. I hope the details you provided are sufficient. You recently purchased a 4th monitor (DELL SE2416H) and connected it to your PC via HDMI and VGA ports, as well as your work laptop. The monitor has both HDMI and VGA inputs, while the laptop offers HDMI output and USB-C connections.
When connecting the new monitor, you've used different input methods depending on the device, but everything functioned correctly initially. However, with the new setup, the monitor enters power saver mode on the VGA port, which prevents it from displaying properly even though your PC registers it as connected. This behavior is unusual and may indicate a compatibility or power issue.
I’ve tried using an HDMI splitter to test if the problem lies with the cable or the splitter itself. Since the other monitors are working fine and you can switch inputs between devices, it’s possible the issue is specific to this monitor or its connection settings.
Could you share more details about:
- The exact model of the new monitor
- Any error messages or unusual behavior
- Whether the HDMI splitter is functioning properly
I’m here to help you troubleshoot further!
