So, after two refurb monitors didn't hold up terribly well (they didn't die, exactly,,,) I bit the bullet and bought a brand new monitor. 27 in, Samsung. Yay, it arrived today.
I spent the day dang near killing myself trying to hook it up to my computer. My computer has every weirdly shaped hole you could ask for - except HDMI. Three ports on the monitor - only the HDMI cord included.
I ordered the first thing that looked like it might work from Amazon. On the only working monitor I had still attached. It gets here Tuesday.
Tried scavenging the first refurb I bought - okay, so there's another weirdly shaped hole my computer doesn't have. The second, however, had an old school cable which had needed an adapter to fit my computer. Wanna guess what worked?
I now have a lovely collection of monitor cables.
