Assuming you have checked monitor settings in control panel?
I have a 22" Hanns-G LCD monitor attached to my laptop with a VGA cable, the message on the display states "No signal input - check video cable". I tried with multiple PCs and cables, but none work. It is clearly a monitor problem. What can this be?
