Why I have digital cable and after scanning for channels I got nothing on Sceptre Monitor?

  If you have digital cable and receive no channels after scanning on your Sceptre monitor, it’s because this display does not support QAM. You’ll need a cable box for the display to work correctly. Ensure you have an HDMI cable connected from the cable box to the display, then turn on both the display and cable box, and set your display’s source to HDMI.

  If your video is black and white under YPbPr on your Sceptre monitor, ensure you are not using a yellow video cable connected to the YPbPr’s green port. If you are, switch to using AV as your source instead of YPbPr.
