I just bought brand new LG 27-inch FHD monitor for my PS4 and Macbook Air 2010 late.
(The monitor is working perfectly on PS4 with just a simple HDMI cable.)

I hooked up the monitor and Air 2010 with HDMI-mini DP cable ($9.99, not Apple certified), but the monitor just blinks a few times and then goes off with NO SIGNAL.

I also tried with connecting HDMI-DVI cable and DVI-mini DP adaptor together ($15 all together and of course not Apple certified), but even worse than the first attempt and even no blinking, just NO SIGNAL.

Is this because those cables are not Apple certified? or Am I using wrong cables?

I have no budget to get a new Macbook and I really want to use an external monitor on my Air 2010 since the monitor size on Air is only 13-inch.

Here is the monitor that I bought:

Please, help me with this.
Thank you.
