My onboard graphics card stopped working. I cannot view the display. Can this be connected to a monitor without installing a driver?

Don't think so! Was made to be the 2nd 3rd ... monitor. Do not think it will grab primary from system.

I doubt it. I used to add a 2nd & 3rd monitor. You might contact Diamond to confirm.

This unit was "plug & play" for my purpose, but like other answerers, I am using it to deliver signal to a third monitor (52" Sharp Aquos)

I think so. I don't recall installing any drivers, but don't hold me to that.

The card has a squid adapter that has four DVI-D (DVI Dual link) female side.You can adapter the dvi down to VGA but you will have resolution problems when the monitor does not send a response signal. Long story short DVI monitors only. -Cade

I have 2 monitors connected. One connected to the DVI port and the other connected to the display port using the adapter that came with the card.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but no monitor should require drivers. If your resolution is messed up you may need to update or download your video card drivers or software. Depending on your card you would need to visit either Nvidea or AMD (Radeons) webpage. Or you could always try customer service by phone or email at http://www.hannsg.com

If your machine has a dvi port you can split it with a dvi to two vga connector. If not you will have to get a different video card. You could also call tech support from where you got it they will help you.

A monitor simply displays an image. If your tower, no matter the brand or model has a video output that this monitor does, then it will work. It's been years sicne I've ha this, but I remember it having an HDMI, VGA and DVI-D port. So if your video card, or motherboard if using on board graphics has one of those connections, you're good to go.

As Althea stated, there are 2 connections available. One on the top (on the motherboard itself) and one on the bottom (on the video card.) The ones on the top are disabled because the ones on the bottom are the active ones. Be sure to use the bottom ones. They pass through the video card which provides your more powerful graphics experience. No need to return it.

It completely depends on your motherboard. If you have a motherboard with onboard graphics, then yes, you can boot bios, just plug your monitor to the onboard graphics port. if you have a motherboard without an onboard graphics chip, you will be able to boot the bios (providing you have CPU and RAM installed), but you won't be able to see anything, so it will be no use booting the bios to check if parts are working correctly, or to alter settings without a graphics card hope that helps

You can connect this device to your PC HDMI output convert it to VGA output if thats what you want to do.However please check if your graphic card output do support outputting VGA and HDMI signal at the same time.

You don't need drivers for this monitor, as soon as you connect it via HDMI it should be recognized. If you want it to run at a higher refresh rate that 60 Hz you have to create a custom driver using Powerstrip. You then create a custom resolution (1920X1080) and refresh rate (I suggest 72 Hz) and create the driver. Then go into advanced display settings/monitor in Windows. Click on Properties and go to the Driver tab, then you'll see update driver option. Select Browse your computer option and select the folder containing the custom driver. Save the driver in case you have to do it again in the future. This is how I got mine to run at 72 Hz and it works perfectly...

Need some more information; what operating system are you using? Did you install the drivers for the card? I believe the drivers disk in the box is pretty outdated, downloading from the manufacturer website will give you the latest. You may also need to modify your system BIOS to use the PCI video card vs any card built in to the motherboard (typical VGA output).

I use the Nvidia Geforce GT 610. It has DVI, HDMI, and VGA connections. Works great with this computer. Just plug it in. Plug and play. And it is inexpensive.

The VGA port is blocked because there is an Nvidia graphics card enabled. There is no need for the onboard VGA card.

Sorry I can't I am using it on a desktop PC with a AMD Radeon 7970. If the device supports Displayport 1.2 And operating system supports it it should work.

Sorry, I have not try that. Mind you, the NVIDIA card and driver is only for external monitor. The LCD is driven by the INTEL video card
