asked on Windows 10 doesn't recognize ASUS VS228H-P 21.5" monitor with VGA cable
Hello,
I have an ASUS VS228H-P 21.5" monitor with 1920x1080 true resolution.
It has a Vga and a DVI connector.
I could use perfectly without any problem with my previous computer (Windows 10) via the DVI connector.
However on my new computer (also (Windows 10 ) I could only connect it via VGA cable, because it doesn't have DVI (only HDMI and Display port).
I don't know if this is the reason but the new computer detects it as a Generic Monitor NPNP (non plug and play) and the maximum resolution 1440x900, so it it very blurry.
All the drivers I can download are not compatible with Windows 10.
What can I do? Is it a software related problem or should I buy a converter to Display Port?
Thank you!

You were right. The reason I didn't try another cable before was that this was a brand new cable, freshly bought so it didn't occur to me that is can be bad. Thank you!
HDMI is backward compatible with DVI-D (digital). Buy an HDMI to DVI adapter for a couple of bucks and you'll be shed of this problem, plus there won't be the smearing and fuzz associated with the VGA analog signal.
