The picture shows the d-sub port as being a standard 9-pin serial port - am I trippin or is that supposed to be a VGA port?

It has 2 HDMI ports and one VGA port. So yes ...u are trippin. Great monitor!

You are not trippin. The pic shows a 9- pin port, but it's actually a VGA 15-pin port

The VGA port is blocked because there is an Nvidia graphics card enabled. There is no need for the onboard VGA card.

Just what they said, VGA (D-sub), DVI-D (digital), and HDMI. If you're not up on types of connections, DVI and VGA are video only while HDMI is video and audio together. On mine, I found that the DVI connection has trouble rendering the gray and black lines on this site: https://survey.noellevitz.com/ whereas the HDMI connection does not have a problem. I need to get back in contact with ASUS about this, and possibly get a replacement. I never tried the VGA connection to see whether it has the same display issue.

this adaptor converts from usb to RS232 serial. If that is what you are trying to do it will work well. It is not for VGA as that is a video format.

Monitor has three labled ports/plug-ins. Power cord, DVI, D-SUB. The D-SUB is connected to my computer.

It will come with a VGA (15-pin D-Sub) cable not the VGA to HDMI cable, sorry

Most devices are currently using DVI_D, and with that you should be okay. Best solution is to look at the pin holes on the device in question. Will save you a lot of time

if i remember correctly, i thought it was dual... but honestly i couldnt be 100% positive. it said 24 pin plus the one, i think the other one is like 18 pins. i do not use the sound but the picture i get is as good as my dvd player can do. maybe you have to download some drivers because some proprietary jerk swapped pin placement. idk. another possibility is the video card is not capable or set up properly. is it possible to swap another cable that is 24 pin and see what happens? good luck, i hate when computers don't work right.

Hi, Yes you are correct, there are two displayport interfaces and one VGA.Thanks, PCrush

Okay I see the input formats but, what do the connections equate to; I.e. VGA (CPU connector), HDMI (duh), D-Sub (is this VGA as well?), RGB (is this the 3 RCA color wires?), Digital (do they mean S-Video?), etc.

no you need to use a VGA cable not USB or serial. I got this cable to use with APC backup which uses a serial port and all my latest PCs that I have built have NO serial port. I think the last time I had a pc with a serial port was 1997

I have two monitors next to each other, one is the VGA and one is display port to VGA. If there is a difference it doesn't seem very apparent to me. Looks the same.

yes, I can confirm as well. One DVI port, one VGA port. I am using both in a triple monitor setup (with one being the laptop screen).

You should use DVI-D dual link cable. Unfortunately not all DVI cables are equal. Even if you see all pins present on the cable ends it doesn't mean that the cable is actually DVI-D dual link type (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface). For me this mistake ended up in buying new video card as I thought my old one wasn't capable of supporting this resolution.

Technically this isn't a support forum but... Are you sure your pc is outputting signal over the VGA, I ask this because I believe there two lights that come on when signal is passed through the device.

Not sure what the port next to the VGA is, the manual calls it "High performance Display Adaptor". I don't own any HDMI devices, so can't say for sure, but it does have the same shape & size. But can't plug it in to anything to test it.
