Does the USB 3.0 work over the displayport connection? My laptop (T420) doesn't have USB 3.0 built-in, and neither does the dock I have.

Take the USB 3 cable supplied with the monitor and plug it into the USB port (the square one) on the monitor and then plug the other end into your PC's USB 3 port and you will end up with 4 usable USB 3 port on the monitor.

Connect your monitor's USB3.0 cable (located on rear panel of monitor) to your computer's USB3.0 input (this is not the USB output plug of your video card) and the 4 USB ports on the side of your monitor act as extra inputs to the USB3.0 bus as if they were a USB3.0 HUB. No special cable is required other that the one supplied with your monitor.

There should be a cable included in the box but it is not obvious if the box is opened from the other side.

You need a mediabridge USB cable. This plugs into a USB port in your computer and into the monitor. This allows the computer to use the 3 monitor USB ports for just one on your computer.

IF your computer has a USB3 port, use a USB3 cable to connect.http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_11?url=search-alias%3DcomputersIgnore "mediabridge" it is just a marketing term

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.

To be honest I no longer have the monitor. I had too many problems with it and the company so replaced it with a Samsung and eliminated the frustrations. I cannot not imagine it not having a HDMI port! How else do you connect? Mine had to have had one to connect the monitor to the computer. I will never purchase another Acer product and have passed my experience on to everyone that I know. It was a waste of money. I have talked with others who have experienced the same problems. My advise would be to see if you can recoup your money and purchase another brand. The company isn't easy to deal with so good luck. To be honest I no longer have the monitor.

Just purchase an HDMI to DVI or DP adapter, problem solved. Or use one of those outputs on one of the monitors.

If you want hdmi, yes you'll need a card that supplies that output. If you don't have hdmi or dvi outputs on your computer, you can still use the hdmi port on the monitor by purchasing an inexpensive VGA to HDMI adapter that will allow you to use the port, but with a lack of resolution. You can also get an adapter that will change you vga to DTI if you want to use that. The monitor comes with all 3 inputs; dvi, hdmi, vga.

there is a VGA port and 2 HDMI ports, and I counted at least 4 on the back and 4 on the front 2.0 USB ports, as far as 3.0 I do not know hope this helps

You probably already have this answered, but you need to connect a 2nd cable from the monitor to the computer. It's the one that has a squarish end fitting at the monitor, and a USB fitting on the other end that goes to the computer. This takes away one USB port at your computer, but gives you 4 at the monitor in return.

The only port that can be connected to the monitor is a RGB blue serial cable. This cable connects to my pc via the VGA port. My video card has VGA, DVI and HDMI ports. My answer therefore is that VGA is definitely present, as for DVI I suppose you would need and adapter, considering that the cable provided along with the monitor is a bluw RGB VGA cable. I hope that helps.

Please visit Dell website for owner's manual.HDMI input, I doubt it, don't think I've ever seen it.HDMI output, I tried it but it will NOT support my hi res monitors and was a huge disappointment HOWEVER the NVIDIA graphics card video outputs work GREAT! Much higher capacity than the HDMI (which was built into the motherboard).

This box outputs with DVI, not HDMI. I didn't have any luck trying to use DVI to HDMI adaptors. It could have been my monitors though.

You may already have an HDMI. The first thing is to look carefully at your ports, also check the rear of your laptop. Some manufacturers put ports on the rear for docking stations. You will find that HDMI looks very similar to USB ports. DVI ports have a more rounded edge but HDMI is boxy like USB. Push come to Shove, tell me the make and model and I will look it up... One thing that is a decent alternative is gettin a 9 pin D-shell to HDMI or DVI depending what your needs are. Most laptops have a VGA out which is a standard monitor connection that preceded DVI and HDMI. If you also need sound, you will want to get a mini stereo plug (headphone jack), to connect to a speaker system.

Just grab a cheap HDMI cable and hook up your xbox to the HDMI port (Which is limited to 60hz, anyway), and if you have a PC, connect that to the DVI port. Problem solved.

Just use HDMI from your laptop to the monitor, it's a better interface. That's the way mine is connected.

Either your monitor needs to connect via hdmi and have speakers, or you will need a usb sound card or hdmi speakers...

DVI video port gives you digital signal capable of 2560x1200 or higher resolution. What else HD do you need? HDMI? Most likely you can use DVI-&gt;HDMI dongle
