Setting Up Your Studio XPS Desktop

Connect the Display

Your computer does not have an integrated video connector. You must use the connector available on the video card in the expansion slot to connect to the display.

Connect the Video Cable to the Display

Check your TV or monitor to see which type of connectors are available. Refer to the following table when identifying the connectors on your display to select the connection type you

will use.

VGA

HDMI

DVI

DisplayPort

8

Connect the display using either the VGA connector, the DVI connector, the HDMI connector, or the DisplayPort connector.

The HDMI connector is a high-performance digital connector that carries both video and audio signals for displays such as TVs and monitors with integrated speakers. The VGA connector carries only video signals for displays such as monitors and projectors.

Connect Using the VGA Connector

Connect the display using a VGA cable (which usually has blue connectors at both ends).

If your computer has a DVI connector, use the VGA cable (with blue connectors at both ends) with a DVI-to-VGA adapter (white connector).
