Some monitors have an option to automatically detect the input source.
In your case you might have to tell the monitor to use the DVI port 
instead of the VGA port manually using the monitor's menu.

You also want to check your VDI adapter is the same as your monitor. If 
I remember correctly there are different types of DVI technology.
This part seems solved: I have borrowed two monitors to test this, one with DVI input only, one with HDMI input (the NUC only has HDMI output): the latter one, directly connected with the same HDMI cable, works. The other, that is attached with an HDMI to DVI adapter with the same cable, does not. So, either even that monitor has a DVI port broken, or (much more likely, right?) the adapter is faulty, or not the right type.
I just checked here https://itm-components.co.uk/blogs/news/what-are-the-differences-between-dvi-connectors-and-signals (https://itm-components.co.uk/blogs/news/what-are-the-differences-between-dvi-connectors-and-signals) and the adapter I have is "DVI-D (Dual Link)". Can this be the reason, i.e. incompatibility with both the monitors I got, or it is just faulty?
Thanks,
Marco
