[tomy_12]

Hello dear Tomshardware mates,

bought new gaming monitor named: DELL S2417DG 2K LED

How i can fix to see my PC desktop?

Monitor going to saving power mode \ sleep mode.. can change to DV input or HDMI input but nothing changes :/

i have power connected, HDMI connected and one more looks like LAN thing but different connector.

changed the HDMI on the Graphics Card all of them black screen...

don't see DVI connection on the monitor ?

Thanks for help mates.

The monitor does not support DVI, it supports HDMI and Displayport.

The "LAN thing" is probably a USB hub passthrough.


What are your system specs? What GPU are you using specifically?

using GTX 1080 GPU , CPU is old as i5-2400 , will buy new . memory DDR3 16GB , power supply 600W
thanks for help.

there is 4 HDMI connection in GPU but none change display..
i think there is 2 in monitor itself

- was a little "high power" i think when turn on power is gone off.. cooldown and worked well after
i can hear windows working sound and all things spin well

This setup worked before? The only change is the monitor, correct?

I believe most 1080's ship with 3x DisplayPort and only 1x HDMI - you've tried both HDMI and DisplayPort?

You may have to manually select which input you're using on the monitor itself..... ie HDMI/Displayport input. Should be a button to cycle through them.

Also, the S2417DG doesn't have speakers AFAIK. The 27" model does....I think.
So, if that's the case..... where are you hearing the "Windows working" sounds coming from?

That being said, even the review from Tom's directly mentioned speakers:

But, as you'll see - people in the comments would disagree.

for now, true.
i changed GPU first 2 weeks ago, now had new monitor right.

3 cables connected to the monitor, 2 connected to Case (USB kinds) and 1 to the power location.

 

[Barty1884]

Ok, back up. Connect ONLY 1x HDMI OR 1x DisplayPort from the GPU to the monitor. And the power connector for the monitor.

Forget about the USB etc for now.

look on the connectors for GPU (from right to left) is placed in the "gold one" from right to left.. No, No, Yes, No

:lol: now I'm confused even more.

The "gold one" would be HDMI, the second port from the left.
So No, Yes, No, No.

But that's not what you've said.

It shouldn't matter what one you use, provided you're only using EITHER DisplayPort OR HDMI and the plugging it into the monitor in the same port. They don't "fit" in anything else.

I think is DP connector, on monitor succses enter to DP , HDMI cable stuck, On Case, succses enter to every one of them.
both on DP , input on DP , now no screen.. pc still up

i think the sound came from monitor of windows up, is it bad ? (think)
Changed to left side for DP connection.

manual rest PC from case?
