Check that you have selected the right input on the monitor (VGA/DVI) ... I don't see other reason ...
P.S. Currently I am using the same fw.

Thanks, I knew that it was just a remap and that it should work but these are kind of old monitors.  I'm thinking of buying a new one but I don't want to go to all that expense and find it still doesn't work.  Maybe there IS a problem with the HDMI startup, at least on my MSO5000?

I tried the search on the inputs, both monitors I tried said there were no signals.

I don't think it worth buying a new one for this.
Instead a used one with a HDMI connection . There are very cheap at 22, 23 inch on ebay or other sources near you .

I meant a new monitor.  Anyway, I tried a 4K monitor (newest I own) that has native HDMI inputs, I plugged it in and it worked immediately (although it had a black surround on the screen) so I've proved that my MSO5000 and HDMI cable are good.  I will order an Asus VZ229HE 21.5" monitor which I can get here for $100 - I checked the manual, it will do 1280 x 720 @ 60Hz so I should be good with that model.

If anyone's curious, the HDMI display runs in addition to the scope's screen so you can work the touch screen and soft buttons on the MSO5000 and look at the HDMI monitor; would be a great scope for a teaching environment.

What about trying your TV with HDMI?  If you go straight HDMI, you can rule out issue with your adapter.  As skander36 said,  there is no known issue with HDMI.  Make sure you set it at a resolution your monitor can support, it does not output full 1920x1080 HD.  But it is good enough at the highest resolution, it is nice not having to connect it to the Internet to output the display.

Thanks but I think we cross-posted, I sorted the problem out by plugging into a native HDMI port on a newish monitor (actually a 4K one) and now it's like iMax MSO5000  :popcorn:
I also plugged in a Logitech wireless mouse with unifying receiver and that worked great too :D  It's really so much better working from a large monitor with a mouse.
