Thanks for the info, and love the old school handle.

Does anyone know if stands from Dell P-series monitors will fit U-series monitors? I know that E-series stands, while they look nearly identical to U-series stands, will not fit U-series monitors. The measurements of the tabs on the stand that insert into the monitor's attachment point are...

Also, I heard from StarTech, which makes MST hubs. MST hubs cannot be daisy chained. So that's out, but as prior post demonstrates, you can create a daisy chain of monitors from a MST hub.

If anyone is wondering, the answer to a related question - can you daisy chain monitors off of a MST hub, the answer is yes. Picked up a daisy chainable monitor today. Connected as follows: video card DP port to 2-port MST hub 1 port on hub to regular DP monitor 1 port on hub to daisy...

I have a couple of Dell monitors (different models) with DP ports in a multi-monitor setup (5 monitors). To prevent the wake-from-sleep issue (where Windows doesn't see DP monitors right away and thus rearranges windows to fit the monitors on HDMI and DVI), I have changed the input source on...

Yep. I asked in the main graphics forum, but maybe you know the answer. Can MST hubs be daisy-chained? I.e., connect video card to MST hub. Connect another MST hub to the first MST hub. Possible so long as you stay under the 4 x 1920x1080 display limit? thread here...

Not according to this table: https://community.amd.com/thread/231248 Looks like R9 290 should be able to handle 3 non-identical displays on DVI and HDMI ports (note there is no footnote on this configuration as there is with the R9 270; the footnote mentions the requirement that the DVI ports be...

I've got a video card with one DP port. I also have a 2-port MST hub, which I can connect to the card to drive 2 DP monitors. If I get another 2-port MST hub, can I daisy chain them to drive 3 DP monitors? I.e., video card > MST hub > 1 DP monitor and 1 MST hub > 2 DP monitors The card is DP...

Figured it out. The card can support 3 monitors on the HDMI and DVI ports, but the catch is that the monitors connected to the DVI ports must be identical. That's what the missing footnote refers to. All of my monitors are unique, so the card by itself is maxed out at 3 displays (1 on DP, 2 on...

I have a Radeon R9 270 card with the following ports: 1 x DP 1 x HDMI 2 x DVI I can get 2 monitors working on the 3 HDMI/DVI ports in any combination I want (HDMI and 1 DVI, HDMI and the other DVI, or 2 DVI), but I cannot get 3 monitors working simultaneously. All 3 monitors will show up in...

Are all the graphics card makers going with both HDMI and DP or is DP also on the way out?

I've got an AMD Radeon R9 270 in my Windows 7 system, and it has 4 ports - 1 DisplayPort, 1 HDMI, 2 DVI. It can drive 3 monitors in the following configs: DP and both DVI HDMI, DP and 1 DVI It cannot drive 3 monitors in this config: HDMI and both DVI I've tried using the Windows 7 Screen...

I've had a few Dell Ultrasharp monitors over the years, and noticed that the stands' interface with the monitor has been consistently the same. Is this true for all Dell Ultrasharp monitors? Do all the Ultrasharp stands' monitor interface look like this?

Resolved. Intel HD Graphics Control Panel > Audio Settings > Audio Without Video setting. This was ON. Turning it to OFF allows the monitors to enter sleep via Windows 7 Power Options display turnoff setting.

Some digging around in the Intel graphics control panel shows that under Power Management Support, standby mode and suspend mode are "Not Supported". Strange as these are Dell and Asus monitors made in the last 1-2 years.
