The problem I’m experiencing is that my LG television isn't connecting to my computer.
For eight years, I relied on my aging computer and a compact LG monitor connected by VGA, functioning flawlessly. My PlayStation 4 consistently performed well with its HDMI connection to the television – a similarly dependable setup. However, when I attempted to connect an HDMI cable directly from my PC to the TV instead of the PS4, it failed. I even acquired a new HDMI cable, yet the problem persisted. Despite constructing a completely renovated PC, this specific HDMI incompatibility with my LG television continues to frustrate me. It seems bizarre that the PS4 works without issue, leading me to suspect a monitor malfunction. Any suggestions or alternative solutions would be greatly appreciated.
The third page of the product’s digital handbook definitively indicates that the 15-pin D-Sub VGA (RGB) connector should be selected for connections to a personal computer.
This is crucial information to verify prior to purchasing a monitor when intending to link it up with a PC.

This monitor, the LG FLATTRON M2262DP-PZ, features an RGB connection that allowed me to utilize a VGA cable from my previous computer and a single HDMI port, successfully connecting with my latest PlayStation 4. However, when connected to my newly constructed gaming PC, it fails to recognize the device, leading me to build a more robust computer system. Even this upgraded PC cannot establish a connection through HDMI, suggesting a potential issue with my television or monitor.
The older computer continues to function satisfactorily on the LG display using a VGA cable, and the PlayStation 4 operates smoothly alongside it. However, activating my new PC with an HDMI connection does not work, even after attempting to swap ports on the device itself – there was no change in result.
nevermind now, ive finally found some information on this, it appears that even though it seems to me strange a ps4 will connect via HDMI but not to my 2 pcs via HDMI it appears this model for some reason wont connect to a pc, i still have no clue because it will connect via VGA lead, but as it states on the forum i just found this model wont connect to a pc,
thank you anyway, but i think a new monitor is in the pipeline now
