hp external display?

Hey so I am trying to connect my hp 2011 display as an external display for my MacBook Air M1 through an HDMI to DVI adapter. But it says input signal out of range. So when I go ahead and change the display settings in the MacBook settings for the hp display(I change the resolution) nothing happens, the display doesn't update even though I have changed the settings.It still says the same thing but it doesn't even try to update the settings(the message says on display without even blinking when I change the settings). I replug and the same thing. How do I get it to update?
