They’re distinct entities. The connections just seem alike. There’s a good reason they removed dvi.

The process of recycling an old monitor brings its own challenges. With your current adapter, it seems difficult to proceed. Your choices could be either upgrade to a newer monitor or explore alternative cables like HDMI to VGA.

They produce or previously made HDMI→VGA adapters at very low prices. There might be one available for just a few dollars. It’s mostly luck. I’ve also been trying to maintain a monitor using only dual-link DVI and without drivers, which has proven quite challenging.

It’s uncertain if it will work with HDMI, especially with such a limited budget.

It seems like you're unsure about the details. My estimate is it should be. HDMI started as a standard for TVs when most were analog, and they worked hard to keep the conversion affordable and simple. I attempted to study the HDMI spec once, but even the basic guides were lengthy. The actual design inside that tiny cable is surprisingly complex.

Obtain a higher quality HDMI to VGA adapter that includes its own power source (USB or barrel connector). Then employ a DVI to HDMI adapter or HDMI cable to transform your DVI signal into HDMI, and subsequently utilize the converter to shift from HDMI to VGA. Supply the converter independently via USB, as the DVI connection might lack sufficient voltage. For instance, this model is available at: https://www.amazon.com/ZasLuke-Converter...07QKZK534/ It features a microUSB port and comes with a matching USB cable for direct power via your computer’s USB port. With this setup, you can connect either a DVI-to-HDMI cable or a DVI adapter plus an HDMI cable to achieve the desired output. Another option has a microUSB port for separate USB power: https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Adapter-Co...01GFMW91E/ If you prefer custom modifications, inspect the adapter’s wiring—connect the 5V and ground pins to USB via a dedicated cable, bypassing the DVI input. Pin 14 provides 5V while pin 15 serves as ground, allowing you to detach those connections from the DVI connector.

Thanks for your help so far. After careful thought, I realized it’s not worth the effort. I’ll start searching for a new monitor with DVI or HDMI ports, though I worry it might still cause issues even with a converter.

There are numerous older 1080p flat screens from businesses equipped with HDMI ports available at low cost or even for free.

Sure, my dad is employed at a bank that's about to shut down, and they're phasing out the computers. I might try to get one for him, though there are stickers with their logo on them, haha.
