On my custom PC I am trying to set my El Gato HD Pro 60 up. I am using an older monitor, an Acer Al2002W. It only has two ports, one is plugged into the graphics card obviously with the other end plugged into the output I get nothing but a blank screen and silence when I try to record. What can I do so I can record? I got my editing software already (Vegas Pro).

Gday RebelGamer 137.
Unfortunately you will not be able to use that monitor as it is only capable of receiving analog signals; the Elgato only produces digital signals, so they are not compatible.
I will supply some links for future reference.
Before you begin, with only a monitor connected via HDMI cable. > set your screen resolution to a max of 1080p @ 60fps
Install the software before the capture card.
You need two HDMI cables, the second one should match the one included with Elgato, a pass through cable, bi-directional HDMI cable. This is a typical HDMI cable that can be connected in either direction.
First cable, connect one end to your graphics card port, > connect the other end to the Elgato IN port.
Second cable, connect one end to the Elgato OUT port, > connect the other end to your monitor HDMI port.\
Please go to this page and review the installation guide to make sure you do it correctly, >https://help.elgato....apture-HD60-Pro
Then on the left, if you have not already got it, view the https://help.elgato....nd-User-s-Guide
I have not used the capture card or Vegas, I use CyberLink software for both tasks, but here's a page with some info you may make use of > https://help.elgato....-edit-HDR-video
Pleas let us know how you get on.

Got a recommendation for a good monitor that is reasonably priced that works with an El Gato?

I can look though some reviews for you and happen other members watching can suggest as well; some info would be useful.
In which country will you purchase?
Brand and model of your present GPU?
Max budget?
I am out today, so won't get back to you till this evening, my time.

I am trying to get one for under 200 if possible. I have a Radeon RX 4700 Graphics card and I am in the good old USA.

Best I think under $200 > https://www.newegg.c...N82E16824737004 curve screen.
Others are over you budget a little,m but better builds.
> https://www.newegg.c...N82E16824475006 curved screen.
> https://www.newegg.c...N82E16824475066 flat screen, note, sale item, ends in 2 days.
> https://www.officede...24-Full-HD-LED/ My first choice, very hard to come by, most sellers sold out.
Monitors seem to come with DP cable now and not HDMI, reverse of from a couple of year ago, so you will still need a HDMI cable.
Look for reviews of the selected before you decide., let us know how you get on, and any questions.
