HDMI male to male or male to female? Also question of dual monitor

I have a Dell XPS 8500 desktop computer and a NVIDIA GE Force GT 640 video card and a couple of monitors, I want to connect.  One of the monitors is a Dell ST2320LF monitor that has DVI, HDMI and VGA ports on it.  It came with a VGA cable that I currently connected DVI-d port on the desktop via an adapter.  I have a second monitor, an Acer with VGA cable I want to plug into the DVI port instead (by adapter) and get a HDMI cable to use for the Dell Monitor instead.  Two questions.

(1) I can just plug the two monitors, one through the DVI and the other through the HDMI interface, and they'll both work?  I got the impression that the 8500 XPS is preconfigured to manage two monitors, but I don't know if I need to do something special after plugging the.

(2) what kind of cable HDMI do I need for my monitor?  Male/female or male/male?

Thanks for any help.

I have the same arrangement.  The monitor with a HDMI connects to the HDMI from the map and becomes the primary monitor (determines the shape of the BIOS boot screen.  The HDMI cable is male, the standard thing, you get to your TV. The second monitor plugs into the card DVI plug using the adapter as needed.

You may need to change the properties of display of Win7 or Panel of comtrol nVidia (right-click on the desktop), but obviously when you open the control panel. You do not need to play with the BIOS and Intel parameters, both monitors are supported by the video card straight out of the box.

  • The main screen becomes secondary in a Setup dual monitor (DVI-HDMI)

    Original title: WINDOWS PROGRAMMERS: problem with OS Windows7 not being not able change the numbers of identifiers when using multiple screens and HDMI

    To be clear... This problem is with the Win7 OS - no video card GUI that allow to change number ID display on multiple monitors.

    Problem with several screens and the use of HDMI cables substituent and #1 assuming that for its corresponding display view identifier.

    Not always ID desired.

    But there is no way to change this.

    EXAMPLE:

    Monitor is configured as primary display (ID #1) using a DVI cable

    Then I connect my SONY Bravia or my LG HDTV displays using HDMI cables, the new screen automatically takes over as the display identifier #1 and the monitor becomes identifier #2.

    -This introduces to the identifiers is not something I want, need or want to deal with every time I use several displays. And it creates problems.

    There is NO way to correct or modify the identifiers.

    Please provide a FIX as soon as possible if you have an ounce of concern for the customer service.

    The solution can be as simple as:

    GO to THE control panel - appearance and customization - display - change display settings:

    Right CLICK... on one of the displays in the window to the left of "Detect" / "identify."

    Then the OPTION 'Change display login' with a list of relevant identifier numbers according to the number of multiple connected screens.

    Click 'apply '.

    CLICK ON 'OK '.

    and Voila! View identifiers are defined.

    Hi Jean-Pierre.

    Thank you for all the information related to the issue.

    This problem may occur if the display of the configuration settings dual monitor retain the configuration. Possible reasons could be installed on the computer outdated display driver.

    1. What is the brand and model of the computer or the graphics card?
    2. Are you using double display card? Sometimes changing the display settings for the display cards might solve the problem.

    First of all, if you have a display of the map or media panel installed on the computer, go to the control panel and change the setting under multiple display change. Assign the identity number according to the status monitor, then check if it retains the configuration when you restart the computer.

    Additionally, make sure that you have installed the latest version of the display driver for Windows 7 from the website of the manufacturer of the computer. Sometimes, if the driver is not being updated, the setting may not keep the entire installation. See the link to know how to update the driver on Windows 7:

  • HP PAVILION P7-1155: p7-1155 graphics card with hdmi

    I need to replace the graphics card for my machine to my hd tv hdmi output. I received a link to a forum that took me to newegg expert. There, I was overwhelmed for choice. I looked at a few of these, as well as comments. PNY cards seem to have a good rep, but I'm not sure. I want one that gives result excellent for my panasonic plasma and also has a conn vga for an old pc that I use occasionally, as well as a DVI to my primary monitor (ACER LED). I want also to capacity dual monitor.

    I'm not in the game, but I want good graphics. Low power is necessary also for that area (P7-1155). I think that this box is 250 watts. I'm confused about the amount of memory it must have (1 g, 2 g). If I could get a couple of good choices for graphics cards, I'd be happy. Looking at all the choices gave me a headache. I am running windows 7 Home Edition.

    Maybe there's an ideal choice among them all, but that is deceiving me. Anyone with a few entries on it even better every obvious choice or stupidity would be useful.  I'm going through my dvr then go out on television.

    I don't want to make a mistake here, so I need expert advice. I would prefer a free fan, since many of the comments talk about fan noise. I like to keep the cost less than a hundred, but I don't want no exaggeration either.

    Help

    I would like to deal with NCIX.ca because I'm here because of their return policy and the Canada.

    Newegg here at the Canada gets things to the United States when it is not supplied to the Canada and it can take forever.

    I also found that the NCIX is easier to deal with when returns _ Newegg is too automatic for my taste.

    When it happens to a good card walked like this, 20 dollars or down doesn't bother me, but that's me.

    I'd rather pay more and get the best service.

    And this is an awesome card, I do a GT760 and pushing a frame interpolation program.

    http://www.dmitrirender.ru/

    It was the limitation of the 760 at 80 degrees (metric) and using about 86% resources maps.

    With the same program that GTX980 fans don't even come on, it works at 60 degrees and uses only 62% of the resource cards.

  • I get a 0x000000003b System_Service_Exception shortly after starting... (graphics driver as possible, external drive possible?)

    Not quite sure the cause.

    I was in the shower, my wife tried using my computer and he went to two monitors go black screen. I hardbooted he took.  When he started my vga monitor showed the charger of the bios, the loader of windows, then double black screen for about 10 seconds and then it restarts.

    I reboot with only the vga is plugged, I started having chkdisk running on one of my external USB drives.  I'd get to the user interface of connection and choose profile admin / default and before the screen goes to the office is blue screen with the error above, 10 seconds passes, it restarts.

    I unplug my external drives and still only vga, (and he only ran chkdisk on just an external, not both my references external and not on one of my internals 2.)  and boot it - I get to connection ui - i can choose my profile or my profile comments/woman and he goes to the Office - until it finish loading all the stuff of taskbar, bluescreens on me, the same error and restarts after 10 seconds.

    I start and go to safemode still only vga, I get desktop on my profile but safemode is no way to really "use" a computer. It is stable, so I hope someone nice enough here can help me recover.

    Its Windows Vista 64-bit Acer

    NVIDIA 9200 series card

    BESTFIT VGA resolution is 1440 x 900
    BESTFIT connection Polaroid HDMI HDTV resolution is 1920 x 1080
    The HDMI is normally my main video screen

    for these 2-3 weeks I stayed on my profile, have restarted, there a few times and everythings been groovy.
    About 2-3 weeks ago, I updated a bunch of patches, one of them being my nvidia drivers.  -THAT was a huge problem.

    I had the HDMI connected only at the time of the update. After the update - it defined the default resolution as 13xxby768.  My TV do not like this resolution and cannot evolve in it - so it glitches out my TV and says he has a resolution of 1 p. It also disabled supported dual monitor after the patch, if it is used to run monitors separate dualview.  I had to unplug hdmi, vga only in.  change it back to its best fit of 1440 x 900.  the driver blasted nvidia won't let you set resolutions for screens nonhooked upward, and it won't let you turn on dualview without these two things hung or cloneview.  so I flew over my mouse of choice of resolution area, removed the vga, plugged into the socket hdmi, clicked on a random selection and press ctrl + A to apply it. Once the monitor flickered and remained black, I knew I had an another nonscaleable to resolution, I hit down arrow, ctrl + has once again and got on my second try - a few ridiculous low resolution, then put to scale up his goodness was 1080 p best.  Since that time, I wasn't going to the profile of my wife.

    I think that its possible she hit my making usb cable unplugged the external hard drive.  Or it may have been when she has "changed the user" instead of "disconnecting" as repeatedly, telling him not "change user" he had a huge conflict with trying to keep my resolution and possibly default resolutions on their profile which has been forced by the patch (but does not explain why I can return to my office with nothing connected for a few seconds and it's good resolution for vga).

    I tried to read other messages on this forum and it seems that this may be associated with two graphics cards and removal of hard drives.  However, all the stuff on the disassembly of the drives appeared to apply to the winserver 2003, however, I could be wrong.  I wish myself a an extremely capable user but the drivers and hardware are 1up me.  Thanks a lot in advance to anyone who can help me.  If I need to do a dump or something, to give you more information, would you please tell me how to do this - I know very well my way around safe mode.

  • NB550D - the male female HDMI VGA adapter

    Hello

    I need to connect my Toshiba NB550D netbook to a VGA male cable (this is for projection on screen).
    I thought I need a VGA female to HDMI male adapter. However, I'm unable to find.

    All the world is facing this problem before?

    All that I could find is a HDMI/DVI male female. I am considering buying a VGA female to male DVI (not easy to find either), but it sounds a bit heavy.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    As I know you cannot connect VGA to HDMI using a simple adapter.
    The VGA port provides analog signals and HDMI supports digital signals

    AFAIK you can use these adapters if the HDMI device would be able to pass the digital signal to analog. But as far as I know is not possible on computers laptops HDMI ports.

    So if you want to connect two ports then you will need to use something like a signal converter, but these pieces are not cheap.

    As far as I know the laptop supports HDMI port, but also a RGB (video out) port.
    So why you n t use this port to connect the projector?

    I want to know how and where foreigners can see my Skype profile or account to constantly send a friend request I suspect fraudulent behavior since most males, known as generals or people of such nature, I think not they are legitimate, my settings are surposed to be private so why they find me in the first place. I only communicate on Skype to stay in touch with a people select view overseas. One of my contacts abroad faced the same problems. Why this is happening and how to stop it. It is essential that I am able to communicate via Skype because it's how can I keep control over a bad beloved aging. I am very angry about this and feel compromised! Please someone answer that can provide answers to this

    Open Skype and go to the Skype Menu and select profile and edit your profile.

    On this page, you should see "full profile see the ', click on it and you should see all your profile settings.

    One to try is first "Gender", set the "unspecified", if you click on the small black arrow, you should see male and female, but is just above them some white space, click that and who is.

    Close the page, close Skype and then re-open it, return to the page and check that the non specified is set.

    If so, change others settings of profile that can give 'Too' much info there.

  • Qosmio G30: I am looking for an atenna with the appropriate male connector

    My G30 came with an analog TV tuner antenna adapter. The adapter is female. IM hardly an atenna with the appropriate male connector to connect this adapter. I tried one type of coaxial cable but failed.

    In this case, what is the type of connector should I look for?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Hmmm, a long time ago, I used a G20 and I think the G30 is using the same antenna adapter.
    I simply connected the antenna to the coaxial antenna cable adapter.

    These coaxial cables use male and female connectors.
    There are also adapters with 2 x female or 2 male connectors.

    I think that you should just ask the computer, TV/video shop for a compatible cable/adapter!
