I bought a monitor, checked for broken pixels - everything is cool.
Brought home (brought !!!), connected via dvi-cable + adapter to thunderbolt-full purple screen with green stripes
He took it back, decided not to show off and bought an HDMI wire + adapter on DVI. Connected - the screen is black, but working (I can transfer program windows to it from a laptop, but the screen is black and I can't see anything on it)
What could be the problem?
