Hey all

Just taken delivery of a Dell S2716DG from OC

Connected DVI cable to Display port on the monitor using a DVI > Display Port adaptor and i don't get any signal.

I know the adaptor is OK on my second Dell Monitor plugged into a laptop - but when i use to it on the new monitor there is no signal. Have tried two different DVI cables and same issue, all the cables work on my other monitor and laptop.

Is there any reason why the DVI > Display port adaptor i have won't work on a the new monitor.. i am loathed to start buying new adaptors and cables if i have a DOA monitor...
 
Thanks Banja - I never realised you could not do this which seems ridiculous when I have bought a brand new monitor and brand new GFX card. You kind of expect them to be able to connect easily!

So should I be going DVI to HDMI?
