Troubleshooting a black screen on an ASUS LCD monitor
If your ASUS LCD monitor is showing a black screen, there are several troubleshooting steps you can take to try and resolve the issue.
First, check if your operating system has entered hibernation, sleep, or power-saving mode. If it has, simply press any key, the Enter key, or the Power key, or move your mouse to wake it up.
If your monitor is still not displaying anything, check that the signal cable (VGA/DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort) is firmly connected to the computer input port (graphics card). Unplug and replug the cable to ensure all pins are not bent.
If your monitor has multiple input ports, press the input select button to select the correct input port. If your model doesn't have this button, press "MENU" to enter the OSD menu. The MENU button's position varies depending on the model.
If you're still facing a black screen, try replacing the signal cable with another identical one (VGA/DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort) to perform a cross-test.
Another step is to connect your monitor to another computer (PC/Notebook) to check if the issue is with the monitor or your computer.
If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you can try performing a hard reset on your ASUS monitor. This involves turning off the monitor, unplugging all cables, and pressing and holding the power button for about 60 seconds. Then, reconnect the cables and turn on the monitor again.
If your ASUS monitor still doesn't display anything, you may need to contact ASUS support for further assistance.

Switching input from HDMI to DVI
To switch the input on your ASUS monitor from HDMI to DVI, you will need to access the input selection menu. This can be done by pressing the "Input Select" or "Menu" button on your monitor.
If your monitor is currently set to HDMI, unplug the HDMI cable and plug in the DVI cable. Turn the monitor off and then back on. When the "HDMI No Signal" message appears on the screen, press the "Input Select" button until you switch to DVI.
On some ASUS monitors, you can set the default input to HDMI in the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu. To do this, press the "Menu" button and navigate to the input settings. Select HDMI as the default input and save the settings. This will ensure that your monitor automatically defaults to HDMI when it wakes up from sleep mode.
It is worth noting that some older monitors may not have the option to set the default input in the OSD menu. In such cases, you may need to manually switch the input each time the monitor goes to sleep. Additionally, ensure that all your drivers are up to date, as this can sometimes impact the monitor's ability to remember the default settings.
If you are connecting multiple devices to your monitor, you may also consider purchasing an HDMI switcher. This will allow you to easily switch between different inputs with the push of a button, without having to manually change cables or access the monitor's menu.

Using a KVM switch to change inputs
If you are frequently switching between input sources on your ASUS monitor, you may want to invest in a KVM switch. A KVM switch allows you to control two devices connected to your monitor using just one keyboard and mouse, saving you time, space, and money.
Step 1: Connect Your Devices
First, you need to connect your devices to the KVM switch. The specific connection method will depend on the type of devices you are using and the ports available on your KVM switch. Refer to the user manual of your KVM switch for detailed instructions.
Step 2: Confirm the Signal Source
Once your devices are connected, you need to confirm the signal source for each device. For example, if you are connecting a computer and a laptop, you need to check if the computer is using an HDMI or DisplayPort connection, and if the laptop is using a Type-C or another type of connection.
Step 3: Select the Input Source
After confirming the signal sources, you can now select the input source you want to use. On your ASUS monitor, go to the System Settings menu, then select USB Settings > KVM. From here, you can choose between Computer 1 (connected via HDMI or DisplayPort) and Computer 2 (connected via Type-C).
Step 4: Switch Between Devices
Now that you have set up your KVM switch, you can easily switch between your devices by pressing a button on the KVM switch or using a wired or wireless remote control, depending on the model you have. This will allow you to instantly access the other device on the same monitor and control it with the same keyboard and mouse.
Step 5: Manage Peripherals
In addition to your keyboard and mouse, you may also want to connect other peripherals such as a printer, webcam, speakers, or external microphone. Most KVM switches have additional USB ports for these peripherals. Make sure to manage your peripheral connections accordingly when switching between devices.
By following these steps, you can efficiently use a KVM switch to change inputs on your ASUS monitor, streamlining your workflow and reducing the clutter of cables on your desk.

Using a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter
To change the input on an Asus monitor, you can use the input select button. If you are having trouble with the input select button, you can try turning the monitor off and on again. When the "HDMI No Signal" message appears, press the input select button until you've switched to your desired input.
If you are trying to use a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter with your Asus monitor, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, most DisplayPort to HDMI adapters and cables are one-way and will only work from a DisplayPort source to an HDMI sink. Additionally, passive adapters are less expensive and can be used if the DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort source has the DP++ symbol. If the source does not support DP++, you will need an active converter, which includes additional chips to perform the conversion and can be more expensive. Externally powered HDMI to DisplayPort adapters do exist but may introduce delay and reduce performance.
