XPS 8700 computer and P2217 Monitor
I am having trouble connecting the xps
8700 computer with p2217
monitor. Are they even compatible? I keep getting no VGA signal. I have had two different p2217
monitors and get the same reply. Have tried video adaptor and that doesn,t work either. Can't do a factory reset on the monitor. Nothing happens. Get no DP signal too. I worked with a Dell technician and we couldn't get it to work. DEll sent me a replacement and that won't work either. Any suggestions??

The P2217 has the following video in ports = HDMI/DP/VGA
Here is a picture of a standard XPS 8700.
Do you see ports like 11/12/13 on your XPS 8700? If yes, then your XPS 8700 has an added discrete video card. That is where the P2217 must be connected.
