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?

Are you using a dual-link dvi connector? It handles more data than the single version. If unsure, check online for differences.

If you have a single link dvi cable, it should display 1920 x 1080. Dual link dvi cable are for 2560 x 1600 or 1440.Check to make sure you have the right cable.

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.

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.

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.

It will technically work. I bought this and it work, but it makes both the primary and secondary screens jumpy. Cures doesn't move as fast and leaves a trail. I also had a DVI output on my monitor so a I tired a converter for that as well, and had the same issue (I think I little clearer with the DVI. I'm trying to put up with it instead of having to buy a new HDMI monitor, but I might have to eventually!

I found that the DVI cable did not work after the first few days. Of course that may have been due to the computer, but I doubt it. I switched to a DVI to VGA converter and have had no more trouble nor can I tell the difference in image quality. I think that DVI is a technology not quite there yet.

Actually this card has VGA(analog),DVI(digital), HDMI(digital) connections on it. To get a high resolution image you would connect from HDMI or DVI connections on this card to your LCD or LED monitor HDMI or DVI connection. If your monitor or video card only has a VGA connection(15 pin blue) than you can only transmit analog VGA, which is low resolution.

Just adding to my previous comment, there will be no audio onto your monitor regardless it works or not. HDMI to DVI will only transfer video.

Same here. I don't have the right graphics card in my laptop, so the monitor didn't work well for me. Poor resolution. Since it would cost $160 shipping to return it, I am going to get a new graphics card. Vendor tech support has been helpful. Check the specs first!

I used a DisplayPort to a DVI-D cord. Unfortunately, the HDMI only works out, not in. However, the screen resolution is still nice and sharp.

It doesn't work as a dual link dvi. The dual link dvi takes more power so you have to buy the special dual link dvi adapter I isn't very much extra it is only about $10 so I hoped this helped so you don't buy the wrong one. Also to help you find the right one the dual link has a USB on it so it can get more power.

As others have mentioned this particular model "G276HL Dbd" has only VGA and DVI and there are no on board speakers or an HDMI. I use this as my main computer monitor and for watching an occasional TV show or movie on the internet. They do make HDMI to DVI adapters however as HDMI is backwards compatible with high end DVI devices. I've coupled this set up with a pair of Logitech speakers X-140 2.0 and I love the monitor and sound especially in this price range. Perhaps you're looking for something a lot higher end, but for the cost this is a very impressive set up, but without the bells and whistles that will be found on (Usually) if not considerably higher priced units.

Dan K.,it is at my office; however, I do not believe that it has a DVI--just VGA. If there is DVI input, i will reply again tomorrow.

I had an overscan problem with this set as well with PC to HDMI and the soulution was using the VGA PC input. I know HDMI sounds like a better choice but in this case it is not. With the HDMI port I was only getting something like 1768 x 992 resolution and text was a TINY bit blurred. But with the VGA input I'm getting tne full 1920 x 1080 resolution with no overscan and the images it produces are clearer. Try for yourself!

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

Although most modern laptops that are made with gaming in mind should be able to handle this kind of resolution, you might need to get one that has display port, or dual-link DVI (although I have not seen any laptop that comes with a DVI output). Some HDMI cables might not support anything higher than 1920 by 1080.

Was only able to go up 1080P@60hz by default ... I am using a gtx 670 for the test.I did a custom resolution through nv control panel and it actually go up to 2560x1440 but it didn't look good at all. DVI and DisplayPort seem to have no issues with it.

Double check your settings on the monitor. Mine didn't come with DisplayPort 1.2 enabled by default. You may be getting a 30 Hz refresh rate. Similarly, if you're using HDMI and not DisplayPort, you'll be stuck on 30 Hz not 60 Hz. I just turned mine way down and didn't notice any flicker.

I've had this monitor for a few months now, and although I do play more resource intensive games with it, I've had no problems. If you are using a DVI-D to HDMI converter, you might be overloading the monitor itself and it might burn out. Try using just a DVI-D cable to connect the monitor and computer.

I'm thinking defective. I used both inputs switching between DVI & VGA and both worked fine. But if the problem exists on both monitors when used as analog then you may have another issue.
