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).
