Is the U3415W USB upstream cable connected from the U3415W to a USB port on the laptop?

HDMI cable from my monitor is going to the HDMI in my laptop. And also I m very sorry but I don't know what is upstream cable ? 

I just ordered Type C USB to HDMI converter, hoping that would solve the problem in case you don't manage to find the issue :(...

Also when I did a DDM test, I remember some of the messages were related to :

"Error: communicating via DDC/CI" and also something that my monitor is not supported or similar...

Thanks a lot man and please help me out on this..

The fault is not the monitor. You should post the issue on the Laptop Video board and ask the Laptop users what they think about the issue.

May 13th, 2016 06:00

Hi sir,

Yes, I have tried this last night and no luck. Monitor does work on my desktop machine but it makes no difference to me since I need this screen for my laptop. 

Laptop does recognize the screen under device manager only on HDMI (HDMI2) but when I try any other option such is DP, it doesn't even recognize it nor show it anywhere.

My laptop also recognizes the screen in my display menu and I can set the resolution to it etc but screen is simply in sleep mode all the time, nothing shows up.

Do you think that C type adapter to HDMI will solve this issue when it arrives ? What else can we do to fix this ?

Open the link I provided in my previous post. Go to page 32. Read, "Connecting the USB 3.0 cable". Go to page 6 and see "USB 3.0 Upstream cable". Go to page 10 and you will see that the cable plugs into port 8-1. The other end of the cable plugs into the laptop USB port.

Page 13 of the manual =

I do not know. Ask the users on the laptop board.

Is HDMI 2.0 required for this monitor to work ? Also, will it be possible to ouput the signal using C type thunderbolt (thunderbolt 3) to HDMI ? Thanks in advance

I'm afraid that is an Intel HD Graphics 530 display driver error - it can only be fixed by Intel.

Sadly I had to spend 122$ extra and order: www.startech.com/.../thunderbolt-3-to-dual-displayport~TB32DP2

I have Thunderbolt 3 port on my laptop so hoping this will solve the problem, honestly, still have no clue, I bought this on risk so we'll see. It makes me really sad knowing that my laptop is one of the top series with 10/10 performance score and yet this thing didn't work instantly. I can see that some companies just can't get along and build unified and good solution in both terms, hardware and software.

You can daisy-chain 3 monitors off the USB-C port using a single low(er)-cost USB-C to DP/Thunderbolt adapter, provided the display passing thru the signal supports DP1.2/MST - which your U3415W does.  I use a $20 adapter from CableMatters.

(All laptops built on Intel's mobile Skylake platform look to suffer from this HDMI defect, including Dell's own top-end XPS-15 9550, which is very similar in hardware to your Acer.)

May 15th, 2016 04:00

So the adapter I've ordered in that case will most certainly work, right ? I also ordered one before this one from eBay: 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/282014808398?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I'm hoping that at least one if not both will work. Would you please be kind to share a direct link with me to the adapter you are using as well ?

This is the USB-C to DP adapter I use, daisy chaining 3 external Dell monitors off it.

May 16th, 2016 05:00

I assume in that case that the ones I ordered should work even better or to say, gonna work the same way, right ?

I'm afraid I cannot answer that since I am not familiar with the ones you are getting. I did try a USB-C to VGA adapter, and it failed so these are not all created equal.
