I ordered a Dell XPS 8940 which arrived in October, but life got in the way, and I'm only now getting around to setting it up. First thing I noticed today is that Dell "had the courage to remove the VGA port" <G>. It has HDMI and Displayport. I've got two monitors for my PCs. My main one has VGA/DVI/HDMI/Displayport inputs.
But I want to attach the XPS 8940 to the older monitor, which only has VGA and DVI-D. I use the older monitor for setup/install and to keep the "hot backup" machine up-to-date. What are my options? For the main machine I'll buy an HDMI cable. Are there adapters that'll push HDMI computer output into a monitor VGA or DVI-D input? That way I can buy an HDMI cable plus an adaptor, rather than a new monitor. <G> -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
