DVI to HDMI Adapter for Monitor was working, but now isn't...

JHawk1694 · Mar 3, 2016

Hey all,

So I've been using an HDMI to DVI adapter since December 2015 to play my Xbox One on my Dell Monitor, and it's been working great until this past week when my monitor no longer detected a source on my DVI input (it goes into Energy Saving sleep mode). When
I unplug my HDMI cable, the monitor changes and says it detects no input. Here's my setup -

HDMI cable from Xbox One into Female end of HDMI-DVI adapter

HDMI-DVI adapter plugged into DVI port of my monitor

To troubleshoot the issue, I've tried a new HDMI cable, new adapter, and a different monitor, all to no avail. I checked if it was my Xbox One by plugging it into a friends HDMI-compatible monitor, and it worked just fine on his monitor, then came back to
mine and same issue - no detection.

I doubt it's an update, because my Xbox isn't connected to the internet (I know this is a mass sin, using DVI and no Internet for such a powerful system, but the school I'm at is Draconian in it's internet security).

So, I'm stuck with buying a new HDMI monitor to play my system - but in the interest of pinching some more pennies I thought I would open up the question here first.

Any help is much appreciated!!

:)

Xbox One: How to connect Xbox one to display port monitor?

DVI connector on monitor? Do they make an HDMI>DVI adapter?

Connecting to a computer monitor

What monitor?

You'll need the HDMI AV kit (the original one) that comes with a thin AV adapter. The AV adapter provides audio. You'll also need an HDMI to DVI adapter or an HDMI to DVI cable.

On a PS3, you'll need an HDMI to DVI cable and the multi AV cable that comes with the console for audio.

What monitor you have matters. While the 360 supports many popular monitor resolutions and will work for games without HDCP, the PS3 only supports HDTV standards and requires HDCP.

Hi,

In order to be able to use the Xbox One you will need to use an HDMI cable. If you have a DVI or VGA monitor, you'd need to get yourself a VGA to HDMI adapter, or DVI to HDMI adapter (depending on what type of monitor you own).

There aren't any sort of official wires available, at least not at this point in time. Depending on what your specific monitor uses, that's what you'd need to get as an adapter for the Xbox One to work with that specific monitor.

[quote user="Winterstar"]Actually, using a HDMI to DVI adapter does cause an HDCP error[/quote]It should not unless the monitor does not support HDCP. I have a console hooked up to a monitor that supports HDCP over DVI via a HDMI to DVI adapter. No issues.
The Display settings even show 1920x1080 and DVI on the 360.

the 360 vga is great and it comes with sound but if your monitor has dvi port get a dvi-hdmi adapter
