So i just bought a new monitor. It is a MSI Optix MAG322CQR. Our tv still had a chromecast gen 1 so i thought i could just easily use it on my monitor because i heared i could so i tried it out. I connect the hdmi to the hdmi slot and plugged in the usb into the monitor and ser the monitor on the right hdmi slot. When i connected to my monitor said that there was no connection found, it just went to standby and there was no led flashing on the chromecast. When i plugged in my laptop with an hdmi into the monitor aswell as my chromecast into the monitor somehow the chromecast did work and it did had a flashing led and an setup menu. I have no idea what i need to do so that i can just turn on my monitor and play videos without an laptop connected. I cant find anything online so i hope i can be helped. Thanks for your time and patience.
So it got fixed thanks! Now i see for some reason that my monitor is on 60hz 1980x1080 instead of 144hz 2560 x 1440. Is that because of a certain setting of my monitor or my chromecast?
