How to connect an external monitor to a new Dell XPS 13?

We had two new Dell XPS 13 for users and there seems not to be any video ports as on previous models.  It runs Windows 10 Professional and has a resolution of the internal display of 1920 x 1080.  Looks like there are 2 super speed USB 3.0 ports and possibly a (thunderbolt)? the port?

I've heard of USB - C, so I don't know if it's that this port a port on the left side, or if his crush.  I googled thunderbolt to hdmi adapter and all the images that I find it always shows a port mini display on one end despite descriptions saying Thunderbolt.

So what is the best way to get HDMI out on this laptop?

I just bought an XPS 2016 13 9350 and now know that the only way to connect no matter what monitor what so ever needs a dell docking station or an adapter.  IT HAS NO CABLE THAT CAN BE USED ONLY TO CONNECT THIS LAPTOP TO A MONITOR.

I am working in three offices and the adapter, I had lasted 2 weeks before burning and it was the second.  20% of the forum posters have the same problem using a doc $200 now.  It is $600 for 3 offices, I have been working in if I don't want to carry a doc that is heavier than the laptop!

Who, in their right mind to product management Dell would do a lightweight laptop that had no option to connect a monitor with just a cable.  Why they could not also include a DP or HDMI port or stay until there was a cable is nuts.  It STINKS for us but ideal for Dell they can now sell docs a lot more than ever before.

I asked to return the laptop and get a surface or a lenovo and our IT group is frantically looking at them with more new employees coming on board. No cases were going docs $ 200 dozen. We have been dedicated company dell, but not anymore.

    Hello

    There is no way to connect an external cable monitor such that HDMI port is entered only.

    Your only solution would be to use the wireless display option in the settings, but you would need a monitor/TV/adapter that would work as a Miracast receiver.  I'm not sure specific screens that function as receptors, but I used adapters are the PTV3000 Netgear and Actiontec SBWD100A01,.

    I hope this helps.

    My tablet doesn't have an hdmi port.

    Best regards

    Hello

    WT8-B-102 does not therefore support other output micro HDMI port the connection to an external monitor or TV isn t possible.

    But as far as I know the Tablet supports the wireless display technology (Miracast / Intel WiDi) and if the TV supports the same technology, you should be able to output the internal display on TV s screen too.

  • Possible to connect an external monitor for laptop HP Pavilion dv4t-4200 CTO

    I have a HP Pavilion dv4t-4200 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC model # A1M02AV and it has a VGA, one port that resembles a cable port phone/broadband and one that looks like a USB port, but indented on each side down. I can even connect an external monitor? How will I know if I have more than 1 video card? In addition to the usual USB/headphone ports, I have not all ports. He says that my drivers are up to date... but I don't know even what I'm looking for. Do I need to install something or buy some kind of adapter?

    I'm trying to connect an external Dell montitor via the VGA port with a VGA cable. The monitor has power, but my laptop does not detect recognize them / it. However, when I plugged in the first time in, my laptop screen has shrunk in a square (vs the entire screen) so he acknowledged something... but nothing happened on the external monitor.

    I tried to detect through my display settings, but I have accidentally changed some display setting until the reception desk shows only 1 monitor, but not selected my real laptop screen or something or changed to be Monitor 2 (even if there is no monitor 1), so when I plug the cable into my laptop suddenly my desktop disappears and it's just a white background screen - and I cannot access the screen of the computer settings or whatever whatever... when the cable is disconnected this setting seems to be normal, so I can not understand how to fix it.

    Sorry, I don't know what I'm doing here - please help!

    All Dell monitors are equipped with CD for the drivers. Your laptop may not know the monitor without its driver, it will not install automatically. Please check:

    Ringht click an empty space on the desktop,

    Click Customize

    Click on display

    Click on change display settings

    You can see the TWO laptop screen and external monitor in there, as shown in the following image:

    For the test, I put my Dell monitor is my main screen. If I can't see 2 monitors, you need its driver first and then check the cable.

    Hello

    I don t think you will be able to connect two external monitors to this laptop using HDMI and RGB port at the same time because of different types of signals.

    The RGB/VGA port supports analog signal.

    The HDMI port provides the digital video output and when the external monitor is connected to the HDMI port the device is set to HDMI.

    Is there a question here?

    Read your manuals and find a way to use your laptop computer based on the instructions from Sony to connect external (including projectors) monitors for the laptop.  Usually a connection (as you said Windows XP where you have published, probably VGA) for the monitor and a few buttons to tell the laptop to mirror or extend the display to the second monitor.
