Checkmate Monitor?

[Amiga Forever]

I cant seem get my head round it.

Amiga with Checkmate monitor work like Dream!

PC with with Checkmate monitor doesn't work as I have try plug in old pc with HDMI to Checkmate Monitor of HDMI(got about 5 HDMI!) and I plug every one of them then get "No Signal"

I have try pressing little button to get HDMI whichever number of HDMI is on then it doesnt come on.

I am totally Lost.

Time for me look Manual I guess as that there for reason. Right.

Work fine on normal tv when come HDMI to HDMI with 800 x 600 display pc

So I going try find RGB cable for pc to checkmate monitor and hopefully should work.

So when PC HDMI connect to HDMI 1 then it should come on Monitor screen. One things I didn't understand is there is HDMI OUT. does that mean I need 2 hdmi cable or cable HDMI Switcher?

Edit: I had talk on discord and man say put in second HMDI port (which what I did because it was HDMI 1) and say no Signal.

No solutions at the moment but it work very well with all retro console, computer and that can outweight pros.

Edit: I have finally got it working today and it is really strange thought. I try used remote control as bit of hot and cold resposive!

So I used buttons to try get HDMI 1 then click ok of last button then PC Desktop screen came on!

Looking good and no need to resize screen.

thanks for all help

this seem interesting youtube give me clue , fast forward 13 mins and you see last 2 pc versions at bottom of it.

You can ignore HDMI OUT ... HDMI 1 should be where your cable from the pc is plugged in.

Can you select the input port using the remote control? The monitor might not auto sense where there's a signal and swap to it.

I once had a monitor that had a similar problem that was fixed by using the remote control.
