It could even be the PC... have you checked to see if it detects your inputs? you could try a friend's monitor and see if it works, you could try and use a different cable. You also have to make sure you plugged the monitor into it's power source. I'm sorry, but you did not provide enough info as to what you're seeing... is it on, and the screen is lighting up black, or is it not turning on at all? This thread is also in the wrong section.
