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).
