External monitor problem "Out of Range"

I have a monitor with vga port so I'm using two adapters vga to hdmi and hdmi to type-c.

When I connect the monitor it is showing an 'out of range message'.

The monitor is working perfectly fine. The only problem is the out of range message it just stays there.

I also updated my macbook and it doesn't work.

The Get help with video issues on external displays connected to your Mac page is not helpful for this issue at all.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.7

MacBook Pro not extending to LG 32-inch monitor Hello, I've trouble in using my LG 32 inch external monitor that is connected to my MacBook Pro. I bought this monitor a week ago and it was working fine without any issue for couple of days. Later, I am unable to drag screen from MacBook to external screen. I've tried using different cables with no luck. When I connected this monitor to my MacBook M1, it connects without any problem. I've tried using adapter and still issue remains. I assume there's some issue with MacBook Pro settings. Could someone guide me please? This is important for my day-to-day work life. Thanks a lot!!

External Monitor Disconnects and Flickers with Type-C to DisplayPort on MacBook Pro (M1 Pro) I’m experiencing issues with my external monitor when using a Type-C to DisplayPort (DP) connection with my MacBook Pro 16-inch (M1 Pro). The monitor is a Samsung Viewfinity, and I notice the following problems: Whenever I plug in or unplug the MacBook’s charger, the external monitor briefly disconnects and reconnects (with a momentary flicker), which is disruptive. When the MacBook goes to sleep, the external monitor intermittently wakes up and then goes back to sleep repeatedly, without any action on my part. These issues do not occur when I connect the MacBook to the monitor using an HDMI-to-HDMI cable, which provides a stable connection. Could this be a compatibility issue with the Type-C to DP connection, or is there an adjustment in settings or firmware update that could help stabilize the connection? Thank you!
