    Default simply a new monitor

    new monitor
    take out of box.
    plug in power cord to wall
    plug in "other" plug to back of tower.

    turn on monitor "DISPLAY PORT NOT FOUND YOU FUCKING SUCK"

    how hard can it be to plug in a monitor?

    tower doesnt have HDMI shit. it has this "D" looking port thingie. is my tower not compatible with the monitor or wtf how goldarn hard is this? I made it thru college and fook i hate computers and people and stupid shit that really bothers me when it shouldnt but holy fark its two plugs. I should be able to handle this without calling taiwan or whereever makes the semiconductor that makes the plug that confuses humans like me.

    whew. I feel better. now someone come plug my monitor in at the front desk. i'm going to work (bc I'm scared of the new IRS agents)
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    The monitor IS the computer. Buy one with a piece of fruit on the back. Problem solved.

    Because you bought the wrong monitor for your tower. Should have read the reviews..

    . It would be expensive to the average consumer for a hardware company to provide a connection seldom still in use.

    If your tower has a display port and your monitor has HDMI, this should cover it.
