My situation is kind of fucked up, but I simplified it in my OP.
I'm basically using a triple monitor setup mounted on a a DIY custom frame. Being "OCD", I can't stand it if my monitors weren't all the same model.
Over time, 2 of my monitor's EDID got messed, so they cannot be connected via DVI anymore. VGA is okay, but it won't connect digitally anymore. When the first monitor went down, I did a lot of research/Googling, and spent about 2 weeks trying to fix it with no luck. So this time around, I know better not to waste my time and just find an adapter to connect it with VGA.
My video card has DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI outputs.
My good monitor is connected via DVI-D.
My 1st shitty monitor is connected with the VGA adapter to the DVI-I port.
Now my
2nd shitty monitor needs an adapter to connect to the HDMI with a VGA cable.
These monitors are almost 8 years old... 21", 16:10 ratio. I still like them, and while it would be easier to just get new monitors, I don't have the money to fork out for 3 (same model) monitors at once. Plus, it would mean I would have to make a new frame again...
Pretty frustrating. Spent 3 hours last night plugging and unplugging, switching cables around, resetting my monitor, couldn't get it to work digitally anymore.
