I just bought this and while the HDMI and VGA works, the DVI does not. Am I correct in assuming that it will not display a lesser resolution? like 1920 x 1080? And if not, then what video card is recommended for this monitor? (not high end, just...

The resolution can go up 1440p with the DUAL DVI connection. Make sure you are using the correct cable. IT should have been included when you purchased the item. You need a Dual-DVI cable. A normal DVI cable does not work. Any graphics card with a Dual-DVI port should work.

I haven't tried HDMI to DVI. I can't really test it either because I don't have that kind of cable. I can't see why is shouldn't work though. The output is pretty much a passthrough.

Greetings friend Russell P. works like this: The Vga and DVI is a single output (choose one of the two) is the second hdmi output independent and if you need three monitors must install a pci express card which should override the integrated hdmi to activate the card itself if you need analog TV output you'd have to get you one of the 8400 series that bring that out OK. Saludos amigo Russell P. funciona asi: El Vga y el DVI es una sola salida (escoges uno de los dos) el hdmi es la segunda salida independiente y si necesitas tres monitores debes instalar una tarjeta pci express la cual debera anular el hdmi integrado para poder activar el de la propia tarjeta, si necesitas salida TV analogica tendras que buscarte una de la serie 8400 que traen el esa salida OK.

DVI works for me and it will display 1080p or lower if selected. Im currently running this monitor with an ASUS7970 at 2560x1440 and it looks great. As for video cards id recommend Radeon R7 250x its good value and has a 2560x1600 max resolution.

Just to add to that, if it works great with HDMI, it would work great with DVI too-they're basically the same thing, and a $20 cable or whatever would adapt it.

Does the monitor work? Are you connecting it were another monitor was already connected? Already mentioned but is the monitor set to the right port? If you have more then just a new monitor you need to eliminate everything that is different in your new setup. Have you used the display port before? Is this a new cable? You already said the monitor was new.

Thanks so much for your response. I'll go ahead and bust it out of the package and try it out. Trying to connect an extra monitor!! Lee

Sounds like a defective cable. I bought a micro hdmi to hdmi cable and it works great. Not so well with a micro hdmi adapter. If it doesn't work with another cable and/or the VGA cable, then the unit is probably defective.

I hope you can answer this for me. I'm planning on getting this tv due to the awesome reviews, but am curious about connecting it to my PC. My PC tower has the plug for what I'm thinking is called a VGA. It is blue and has 15 pin holes, 3 rows of five. Now, I figure I will have to purchase a special cord to use this tv as a monitor. I'm confused about which is VGA, DVI, and HDMI. What cord do I need to purchase so this will work as a monitor for me? Thanks in advance!

I don't game, but I would assume these monitors are not great for gaming. They are relatively low resolution, 1440x900 rather than an HD monitor at 1920x1080. Their refresh rate is only 60Hz and I think most gaming monitors are more around 120Hz? Both of mine came with a standard VGA cable, but the monitors also accept DVI-D input.

I haven't seen that, I'm not sure why. Maybe due to the fact that many laptops nowadays have HDMI or DisplayPort. You could just get an adapter for your VGA or DVI, whichever you've got. Good chance you wont be able to get 1080 from it though. There are a lot of USB to HDMI external adapters, that might be the simplest solution for you.

I wondered about the same initially. Need took priority and gave it a try. I have not regretted my decision. I have no resolution concerns or issues. I run my monitors at 1920x1080 resolution without no "visual" issues whatsoever. I guess a lot depends on how good your computer's display output/card is. My laptops are pretty top-of-the-line so no complains here about image quality.

Are you using the cable that came with the monitor? I had some issues getting mine setup, but it was related to the cable I was using. You may want to try using a different cable rated for the high resolution that the monitor offers.

Hi S. Anderson,Is the signal your monitor accepts digital or analog? The HDMI adapter I purchased works great with my Dell 15, but the projector I use at work is analog based and not digital, so my new HDMI - VGA adapter does not work. Hope this helps! Mark V.

I was only able to get the max resolution, via a display port cable. I have tried 2 different dual link dvi cables, but they never went above 1920x1080.

No, I only use DVI and VGA...both work fine...sorry I can't be of more help.

It has VGA but no DVI. If you want to use DVI you will need an adapter. You can either use DVI to VGA or DVI to HDMI. I am using using a cable that has DVI on the end attached to my video card and HDMI on the monitor end.
