So.. I got the Acer x213w for my desktop and it’s great.. I also have a TV in my bedroom that takes up way too much space. I was wondering if I can use a HDMI to DVI cable to connect my Sasktel max box to my monitor? I tried this and my monitor displays "no signal" so I'm wondering if it’s something to do with the signal (analog or digital) setting of both the monitor and max box. Can anyone tell me anything about this or why it may not work? |

What you can do is get yourself a TV tuner card, install it and enjoy it that way. Be aware that those cards can increase case temps 10 degrees. You can also watch the majority of your favorite shows online. All you have to do is search a bit and you can find anything. |

Are you sure that your slot works that it's plugged in to? I'm sure you used a wrist grounding strap or anti-static gloves when you installed the hardware correct? Did you make sure the device is being detected? |

the normal monitor can not be used as a TV , but now there are some monitor that not only can be used as a computer monitor but also can be a good TV , this type may be meet your need! |
