idk which port would be best to convert to and stay playable

not sure you'd be able to use that monitor to play on the Series S. You have Displayport and a couple of older connectors. Closest one you could try and convert would be the displayport but I'm unsure on how well Displayport to HDMI works and its limitations though with the age of that monitor you likely won't be making any use of the latest HDMI specs that the Series S supports

i just want it to be playable and good enough to be enjoyable yk?

solid orbit

yeah, I get you

i was gonna try hdmi to VGA at some point lmfao

solid orbit
#

yeah as it will be more up to date and I think HDMI and Displayport share some similarities compared to the older VGA and DVI connectors (neither of which should be in use today)

thank uuu

solid orbit
#

just be sure to find one that supports HDMI side as you want the monitor end to be displayport but the adapter end to be HDMI - if that is possible. I'm not 100% sure on adapters and stuff. Hope you manage to get it set up and playing again 🙂
