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

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).
