  1. MacBook Pro Screen Flickering when using HDMI to VGA adapter to connect to external monitor


    My MacBook Pro 2014 keeps flickering when I plug in an HDMI to VGA converter to it. I am using HDMI to plug in the HDMI to VGA converter which is plugged into my monitor. The screen is just black and then the Mac starts flashing. The external monitor does not have any effect. I tried out the wiring and monitor on another windows computer and it worked smoothly.

  2. Hdmi to VGA adapter & connection to external monitor

    I have a Windows 10 hp laptop and a Cable Matters HDMI to VGA adapter. I usually plug my laptop to an HD TV but am having to do this for a while.

    I understand this can be tricky, as hdmi to VGA is digital to analog conversion. I got it working yesterday after plenty of fight, not in display options but windows key + p and selected extend. When done working I closed my laptop lid. Since then it has not
    worked. Can any you help?

    I'll tell you what I've done and what it's doing. Now, Windows does indeed think it's connected to an external monitor. Everything about windows says so - there's two icons in display. I can move things to other monitor. But, the monitor doesn't agree. It's
    blinking in standby.

    If I unplug VGA from monitor, it realizes it. If I unplug adapter from Windows, it realizes it. But there's still a gap and I can't find the answer.

    I've restarted, shut down, combinations of those with plugging in adapter before / after, I've deleted generic display from device manager, tried a different monitor, and other various "windows nudges" I call em. Went to manufacturer's site, not any help there.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance!

    Monitor flickering when connected to HDMI

    I have the Gaming Laptop Acer predator 15, here are the specs:

    Laptop - (Acer Predator 15)

    i7-6700HQ Quad Core Processor 2.6GHz with Turbo Boost Technology up to 3.5GHz

    15.6" Full HD (1920 x 1080)

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 with 6 GB of dedicated GDDR5 VRAM

    Monitor - (HP Monitor 22es)

    1920 x 1080 - 21.5" IPS Display with max 60Hz refresh rate

    HDMI and VGA Port

    My issue is that when ever i connect my laptop to a monitor i bought recently the screen flickers every few seconds or more often when i start a video, for example if i open a new video on YouTube, as soon as the video
    has loaded the screen 2 to 3 times before the video starts. The HDMI Cable i use is the one that was included with the monitor, i am running everything at it's native resolution and refresh rate. I have tried using a HDMI to VGA port, to connect via VGA and
    the flickering is taken away but the quality is also reduced, i am a content creator so quality for me is important.

    Any suggestions i should try?
