    Here is a breakdown of the video: First, make sure the monitor and pc are plugged in. Then find corresponding ports on your monitor and pc. Then just simply plug the two cables in. Make sure, if you are using a graphics card, to then plug the cable into the graphics card and not the motherboard! Hope this helps
