Disappointments

As much as I dislike all the shopping hoo-hah that happens on Brown Thursday, sometimes a Gal can't resist a good deal.  It's been a long time since I bought anything frivolous for myself, so I indulged in a Black Friday deal for a new curved monitor - Samsung 32". 



I was so excited to get home and try it out .... only to discover that it is ONLY compatible with HDMI.  Huh.  That's kind of odd ... is a computer's VGA connector that far out of date?  Using my trusty Google, I discovered that I could purchase a VGA to HDMI connector.  I bought one on my shopping trip today, came home and got this thing out of the box and all hooked up ...... and nothing.


*sigh*

I called the Samsung support line because the Quick Connect instructions were pretty useless and because my monitor wasn't responding to the computer, I couldn't use the internet to download additional instructions.  I attempted to use my phone to get some help, but the website wouldn't recognize the model number that I tried to enter, so I gave up and just called.  They were no help; I guess these young Millennials assume that we all have up to the minute electronic devices ... "Just plug in something to the HDMI" ..... umm, I don't have anything.  "No laptop? No gaming console?"  ummm, no I'm a 50+ year old woman .....

Forget it. 
I'm returning this thing and finding something else
that's more "plug and play" friendly.
