No Dp Cable Dell Monitor U2415

Almost false advertising to call it a 1920x1200 monitor.

No dp cable dell monitor u2415.

The newly purchased u2415 monitor is hooked up to a d630 win 7 64 bit via the dell pr01x d port advanced port replicator docking station for dell latitude d family laptops. 8 usb upstream port connect the usb cable that came with your monitor to the computer. Dp 1 1 monitor can only be connected as the last monitor in the mst chain. To enable mst refer to instruction on section connecting the monitor for dp multi stream transport mst function.

Recently the monitor failed so i purchased a new dell u2415 monitor from amazon expecting it to work out of the box. 7 audio line out connect your speakers. I hooked it up to my computer via an hdmi cable. Got brand new dell u2415 monitor to go with it.

When i start the monitor i get no dp cable. I am using the dvi output with a dvi to dp active adapter cable. I just purchased a u2515 monitor. 8 usb upstream port connect the usb cable that came with your monitor to the computer.

The monitor displays no dp cable so it does not recognize the active adapter cable. I tried an old dell monitor and it worked fine. Here are the most common problems solution for the dell u2415 monitors. Dell u2415 won t detect displayport input.

Two cables were supplied with the new monitor. Other monitors can do 1920x1200 through the hdmi port but not this one. I ve tried different hdmi cables but it still goes to sleep without waking up. 7 audio line out connect your speakers.

One of the main weird feature of the dell u2415 is that you must enable the displayport input in the monitor menu before being able to use it. This is one of the major reason that people have problems with this monitor. Dp 1 1 monitor can only be connected as the last monitor in the mst chain. If you use the hdmi port for 1920x1080 then the image will not scale correctly it will be stretched vertically and there is no way to correct this using the monitor or windows settings.

Now the computer says no dp cable and goes to sleep and won t wake up. I connect the dell to the laptop using a hdmi cable as there is no display port on the inspiron. To enable mst refer to instruction on section connecting the monitor for dp multi stream transport mst function. I have tried swapping out the hdmi cable for another i have tried connecting the dp to usb 3 cable i ve tried installing the drivers etc.

I tried both hdmi ports but no change.
