No video with either DP to DVI or HDMI on three different monitors. Running an Intel 4690s. Tried different RAM. Second DS81 same results. Bad CPU?

Possibly a bad CPU but could also be a bad motherboard on the DS81. On my PC I use the HDMI output and when I hooked up the cable the video worked fine with no extra setup steps. I have not tested the DVI output.

It never worked for me, so idk. I'd imagine that the computer would still see a DP, and the monitor an HDMI. All the converter is doing is moving pins around.

my machine has one HDMI port. the machine came with windows 8, but video was jumpy. So i got rid of windows 8 and installed windows 7. Video works perfectly (from my HDMI to my TV).

Never (using this monitor since 6-13). Do you have a message on the screen when this happens - "no xx input," etc.? Check cables.

Tried to use a dvi-d to hdmi adapter and it didn't work past the bios... Gluck

Yes. Dual monitors should work fine provided you use any 2 of the three interfaces (DVI, HDMI, VGA). Using three monitors seems to have been an issue for some, and using 2 monitors with same interface/cable would require an adapter and *might* cause an issue. Just use one DVI and one HDMI and you will be fine! That being said...if you plan on doing anything more than watching video or playing VERY simple games (like puzzle/adventure games or old school DX9 games) then I have to agree with KYle -- buy a cheap graphics card. The nice thing about this new board is it is cheap,rock solid(so far), and allows you to make that upgrade down the line when you have more cash.

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).

I didn't have any luck with this. I had to go a different route for my solution, HDMI/DVI. I hope this helps.

Not on mine. normally HDMI is an output for a computer rather than an input. There is only 1 video out on this computer, SVGA. No digital (DVI) either. You might find a vid card that would fit that had these, but it's awfully tight.

No. I could not any video out of the DVI port. Maybe someone else has. Nothing on the box could verify that I could. Sometimes it does pay off to read the really fine print. It does have a pretty descent video out of the VGA port. 3 Stars

I cannot get any picture on the 2nd moniter. I am positive I have all DPcables connected properly, yet nothing on moniter 2 It just displays the same maddening message: "No DP connecter". I have ordered the $76+tax Startech MSTMDP122DP Mini DisplayPort to 2x DisplayPort Multi Stream Transport Hub. Pissed off here. Dell effed up with these monitors

The graphics card should have a lot more. I run two dvi monitors. Dedicated memory usually means that the video is using part (dedicated) of your installed ram.

Theres 1 DVI-I, HDMI and the regular VGA inputs. I only have a 2 monitor setup. One colleague plugged a third one but on 1440x resolution (wacom tablet).

There is no HDMI port on this monitor; as noted by another there is 1 DVI and 1 VGA.

What are you connected too? Desktop? Laptop? Apple? HDMI? VGA? and what kind of video card?

Separate. I concur with Delores. I'm running hdmi (out) to dvi converter (monitor) and I think res is great. I recall reading about power supply upgrade if you upgrade card. Great machine.

I have seen references to ATI Eyefinity software that is supposed to support three monitors from this card, but I have not installed that software, nor have I tried three monitors on the card I have ( two works well, and that's what I need personally ). Also, if you're forced to use a low profile card, you will only be able to see the hdmi and dvi ports with the lo profile adapter on the card.
