Does this have a dvi port? I got a great deal on a monitor (dvi only) and want to make sure it will work...

Sorry to say it does not have a DVI Conn. I believe you can use a DVI to analog adapter if needed

It has a VGA and HDMI but I understand you can get an adapter at radio shack, female DVI and male HDMI, and your monitor will look fantastic.

The DVI works fine. The problem is likely your video card and possibly the cable.Read the specs and you will see that it requires a specific kind of DVI (there are four).The cable looks similar but the pin-outs are different.Look for a video card that supports the dual DVI connection.These cards tend to be more expensive, which makes sense as you are pushing a high resolution.You will need a card with at least 2 Gig of memory (prefer DDR5; or min DDR3) or your experience will suffer.Look at an AMD Radeon 7700 series or higher card.If I recall correctly, it requires dual DVI.

Yes. It has 2 HDMI, 1 DVI and 1 VGA ports. It only comes with one cable (HDMI). Unfortunately, I found the clarity of the picture using HDMI (attached to a computer) to be poor. Text was grainy with jagged edges. Oddly enough, the image quality is MUCH better using the VGA port! I don't have a DVI cable so I didn't try that port.

No. It has Display Port, VGA, and DVI inputs. I have an HDMI to DisplayPort cable.

Yes it works just fine. Just make sure which dvi connection you have there is a DVI (d) and a DVI (i) They are different and you need different connectors for each.

nope, nothing to do with the monitor, it's just that dvi does not support audio.

A DVI to VGA adapter was included in the package for this unit. I have tested it up to 1920x1080 and it works well at that resolution. Just make sure that the VGA connector is secure on both ends; as with any VGA cable, the signal can get blurry if the connector is loose. (This was particularly true for me when using the desktop's included VESA bracket to mount it to the back of my television, because space is extremely constrained behind the television and the VGA cable would sometimes get jarred loose). Be careful about your cable arrangement and you should be fine.

All indications are that yes, this monitor works with the Display port (1.2) input BUT I have been reading in the Dell forums that these monitors may have a bug from dell manufacturing. While using display port 1.1 all seems find but when trying to daisy chain displays and enable display port 1.2, the monitors become undetectable. Here is the rub, I am NOT using display port, I am using DVI cables supplied by dell and I get the same issue where intermittently a monitor(s) disappear and just can not be detected until the dvi cable(s) are removed from said monitor(s) and replaced - This is terrible. Finally the monitor in question just died and will not power on. I now have to send the monitor to dell to be fixed. Finally, I switched back to one of my older 22" LED monitors to use with the second working 27" Dell and now IT is exhibiting the same behavior - God help me.... In sum, Is the monitor worth it? OH My, yes it is! It looks Fantastic! BUT make sure your purchase some luck and patience because it looks like there are firmware issues on these monitors and the fixes are slow in coming and may require that the third party video card developers may need to tweak their drivers to fully work with these monitors. In the development/manufacturing world this would be considered as a debacle and now I am in the middle of it. Sheesh...

My documentation shows that it only have a VGA and DVI input, if you have a HDMI to DVI adapter or cable you can try that way.

Yes, but keep in mind that only the DVI connection is capable of 120hz (a main reason to purchase this monitor). It also includes a VGA port.

You will need a mini displayport to DVI adapter/cable. Both adapters (where you would need to buy the adapter + a DVI cable) are available as well as full length cables that are mini displayport on one end and DVI on the other. Just search Amazon for "mini displayport to DVI" to see various options.

I believe it was just the VGA cable. A DVI isnt too expensive. you can get one for between 5-10 bucks and shouldnt deter you from buying the awesome budget monitor!

"The desktop I'm connecting this monitor to does not have an HDMI port"Then what ports does your desktop have, a DVI-D port? Great, the HP monitor has a DVI-D port too! Just use the DVI-D cable that is supplied in the box with the monitor and you should be good to go.

Why on Earth would you subject yourself to an expensive and clunky dual-DVI converter instead of just using a Displayport cable??? I see this advice all the time and it dismays me.Oh, wait. It looks like this turkey actually doesn't have a DP input?? The mind boggles. That alone disqualifies it for me, a few more bucks gets a 2713HM.

It has all the pins, and electrical continuity between the corresponding ones on each end exists, so one would assume that it is as advertised. That said, I do not have a monitor that requires an actual dual-link DVI cable to function, so I cannot vouch that it really does work in a dual-link DVI hardware environment. But I strongly suspect that it would.

You have to make sure that you plug the included USB cord from the back of the monitor (right next to the DVI input) into your computer (or a connected hub), just as you would any other USB hub. They certainly should have included this in the instructions!

Although the computer itself does not have a DVI connection, you can use a VGA-to-DVI cable or an HDMI-to-DVI cable to connect the computer to the DVI connector on a monitor. I'm using an HDMI-to-DVI cable from Amazon Basics and it works with no problem.
