Dell :: Displayport HDMI Adapter VS Cable, For Audio + Vid On A E6500

Jan 19, 2010

I have a Latitide E6500 with the Nividia Quadro NVS160M graphics card. I'm running Vista Business 32bit. My E6500 vid outs are s-vga and displayport. I use my laptop mainly in my home office and I would like some more real estate, when in the office 1440x900 is just not enough. When looking at monitors displayport does not seem a common input but most have HDMI.

I then looked at monoprice and saw two possible options for displayport -> HDMI, an adapter or a cable. What is the difference between the two and which should I use if I want both audio and video signals transmitted? Or am I stuck using a monitor that has a displayport input?

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T420s - No Sound Output Via DisplayPort To HDMI Cable

May 26, 2011

I bought a Roline DP to HDMI cable hoping to be able to watch HD content in my livingroom and not having to plug an extra audio cable as DP should carry sound too. 

When I do the same as on the youtube video, I get the following settings in the control panels: [URL] ....

But there's no sound coming out of the TV. I've tried it on my SyncMaster PC/TV Screen and on my Samsung TV in the living room. On the TV in the living room, the windows audio manager shows the device, but it cannot be selected as show above. It stays grey. 

I've got a T420s with discrete nVidia Optimus graphics (Quadro NVS4200M). Driver version is 1.2.19.0 for nVidia HD-Audio and 8.17.12.6696 for NVS 4200M. This information comes from the device manager. I installed my system from scratch and used ThinkVantage System Update 4. 

Where the problem comes from? I could only imagine that the cable isn't capable of carrying audio, but that seems rather illogic, does it?

Dell :: E4600: Is The Audio Quality From The DisplayPort(HDMI)

May 15, 2009

I'd like to load a few 720p movies onto my E4600 and hooking it up to my LCD TV to watch movies.

Thing is that when I connect my 2.1 speakers to the laptop through the headphone port, the audio isn't very good.

I'm wondering if when I use the DisplayPort (will be using a DP->HDMI cable/adpater) will thet audio quality be the same.

Lenovo W530 ThinkPad W Series :: Mini DisplayPort To HDMI TV?

Aug 1, 2013

Yesterday I bought a little 22" Vizio VW22L television to use as another monitor for my W530. I'm using this cable: [URL] to connect my computer to the TV. When I connected it at first it worked fine for about 45 minutes then I just got screen noise (short, multicolored vertical bars moving everywhere). Now whenever I try connecting it I get my computer's display on the TV for a couple minutes, then the screen noise again.
 
I was wondering what the issue is or could be. The cable seems to work fine. I tested it with a Magnavox television and a different Vizio TV. This TV's HDMI port also seems to work fine. I had my brother connect his Samsung Series 3 to it via HDMI and it ran perfectly well. The Lenovo update utility says all my drivers are up to date, as does Windows update.

Dell :: E-Port Plus Audio Through DisplayPort?

Feb 20, 2009

I currently connect my desktop machine to my AV receiver through optical digita SPDIF.

If I use the two DVI ports on the E-Port Plus for two separate monitors, will the DisplayPort carry proper 5-channel audio?

Or, is the only audio output supported by the E-Port Plus the 2-channel, analog headphone port? I'd like to purchase the E-Port Plus with the Precision M4400 and output audio in this fashion.

Dell :: Best Cable Lock For Latitude E6500/E6400 Series

Feb 4, 2010

I just ordered a Dell Latitude E6500.

Now I'm looking to get a cable lock for it. I know they are not the best at protecting your laptop, but some protection is better than none, besides I just want to lock down to a table while I need to run to the bathroom for a minute.

So, from personal experience, if you have a Dell Latitude E6500/E6400, what locks work/fit best for it? I've done some research and I've tried to read around(couldn't find much on here for the specific laptop).

So far I'm looking at these two (but I have no word from latitude E6500/E6400 users): ..

Dell :: XPS M1730 HDMI Cable Connection

Jun 21, 2009

I'm a proud owner of a DELL xps M1730 laptop. Recently I experienced using my laptop on my television screen (LG). However, recently something went wrong. When I try to establish the HDMI connection my laptop won't change it's screen to the television screen.

It changes the resolution on the laptop screen and that's it. When my friend get's here with his xps m1730 it does work for him.

I tried connect a screen trough the DELL quickset but nothing I do seems to help and it is hard to find information on the web concerning this issue. Maybe it is a very easy procedure and I misschanged some of the settings....

Dell Latitude E6500 :: Audio Device On High Definition Audio Bus When Installing XP

Oct 14, 2008

I ordered new E6500 that came with Vista on it and I wiped that and have installed XP Pro SP2 on the machine.  I have followed the guide on this page and installed everything in the correct order.  The only thing that didn't install was the dial-up modem.  It errored out and said "No MODEM device was found".  Typically on the Latitude laptops I seem to remember installing the modem driver and it taking care of this entry in the device manager, but not this time.
 
There is a dial-up modem on the laptop and this is the only device that looks to not be installed.  There is no webcam, WAN modem, or anything else like that.
 
Has problem with installing XP onto a E6500?  Is the installer for the modem driver just bad or is there possibly something else going on.

Dell :: Using DVI-HDMI Cable To Drive External Monitor

Nov 28, 2008

I am considering a 24" monitor which I need t share as a second on my 1710, as well as the primary on my gaming rig (2X8800GTX SLI).

I want to drive it @ 1920*1200. I don�t want to use the VGA connector for one of the machines, when I do resolution drops to a max of around 1600*1100. So, I am looking at some of the monitors that have DVI and HDMI connectors. The thought was to connect one of the machines via HDMI with a special cable like one from bluejean cable, and use the other straight through, and choose a monitor with an easy one touch toggle between the two.

I read some horror stories that the HDMI link via a DVI-HDMI cable isn't optimal, and someitmes has its own resolution or sync limits. Does anyone know about this?

My other choice is a cheapo DVI switch, but it would be cool just to hit the input button.

Apple :: DVI --> HDMI Cable Work

Jun 23, 2009

I currently have a 13" Unibody Macbook and I'm looking to hook it up to a 32" Sony Bravia LCD.

I am looking to purchase the Monoprice Mini-DP --> DVI dongle and hook that up with my Monster 400 HDMI to DVI cable.

I have the very same cable which I use to connect my HP desktop to my Sony LCD TV.

My only concern right now is what I read about DVI-I versus DVI-D. On the cable's packaging it says "SINGLE-LINK Connection ... For connecting HDMI to DVI components up to 1080i resolution"

I'm looking at the pins on the DVI portion of the cable and its group liked this:

9 pins (3x3) SPACE 9 pins (3x3) SPACE horizontal metallic piece.

The Monoprice adapter and the Apple adapter looks different in terms of the slots which the pins will go through.

I just want to make sure I have right components before I buy the adapter.

HP/Compaq :: HDMI Cable Crashes Computer

Apr 21, 2009

I have a dv6500t computer. I recently bought a 23" lcd monitor (HP w2338h) to go with it. I was using the vga cable that came with it, which works perfectly fine. I then bought a link depot hdmi cable to use to connect my monitor. The cable works fine, but when I restart my computer (with the hdmi cable still plugged in) my computer brings up the blue screen that says my computer was shut down to prevent further damage. But when I take the hdmi cable out, this screen doesn't pop up and shut my computer off. Why does the hdmi cable do this?

Apple :: Using A MiniDisplay Port -> HDMI Cable For MBP

Jan 2, 2010

Does anyone here own these cables [url], or a different brand? If so, would you care to share what you think about them and if it's better than using the MDP to DVI converter?

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on these but it seems that this is a new product and there aren't that many reviews yet so I'm still a bit hesitant.

What are your thoughts?

Or if anyone owns the adapter [url] .

Also, I'm seeing that you can't get audio through the adapter for the MBP. If that is the case, would I be able to get audio if I went through the MDP -> DVI ->HDMI route?

HP Pavilion Dv6 OS/Software :: Connect To HDTV Using HDMI Cable?

Nov 19, 2009

I'm trying to connect my Pavilion dv6 to my HDTV using an HDMI cable. I'm getting video, but not audio from the TV speakers. The problem started after I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7. I had no problems with HDMI with windows Vista.
 
I've tried updating/reinstalling the audio drivers from HP's website, but it doesn't work. I've also tried going to the control panel and changing the playback device, but the HDMI audio device icon no longer appears in the playback devices dialogue box. The only playback devices are Speakers and Dual Headphones, Independent Dual Headphones, and SPDIF (Digital Out Via HP Dock.)
 
Why is the HDMI device not shown in the playback dialogue box?

HP Pavilion 15-n221sa Display :: Disabling Overscan When Using HDMI Cable

May 18, 2014

So for a while now I've been using my laptop while it's plugged into my tv. But the parts of the screen are cut off (the top, left, right and bottom, which doesn't make sense since there is no reason to cut off all sides) I've seen guides telling you how to disable the overscan in the video card settings or in regedit but the thing is, I HAVE NO VIDEO CARD. The guides online assume you have one, but I don't my laptop is as plain as it gets. How can I disable the overscan (if possible)?
 
I have searched through my tv's settings but have found nohting even remotely related to overscan settings.I have a hp pavilion 15-n221sa running windows 8.1 and I'm trying to get the display to work on a samsung le46b650 tv.

Lenovo U530 U/S Series :: Touch (1920x1080) HDMI To DVI Cable Not Working?

I just got this U530 and wanted to use a dual monitor setup with a monitor that only supports DVI inputs (Samsung SyncMaster BX2335). I bought a cable for the purpose: an HDMI to DVI-D cable. I cannot seem to get the laptop to recognize that there is a monitor attached, however. 
 
Am I going to have to use a port replicator instead or use some sort of USB 3 to DVI setup? I have no other video output options built into this computer.

Dell Inspiron 15R 5521N :: When Try To Connect Laptop To Acer Monitor With HDMI Cable / It Gives Signal Error

Mar 21, 2013

I have recently purchased Dell Inspiron 15R 5521N laptop with Windows 8 Pro. When I try to connect my laptop to an Acer monitor with an HDMI cable, it gives me a no signal error. But when the same laptop is connected to a Philips monitor using the same cable, it works perfectly. As usual I thought that the monitor was the culprit, but when I connected another laptop to the Acer monitor using the same cable it worked without any errors. So where does the problem lie. The HDMI cable is OK, the laptop is also OK as also the Acer monitor?

I just ordered an M4400 from the outlet, and in the Accessories page during the order there was no option to buy a DisplayPort to XXX Adapter for $15 like there is when you are buying a new one...
