E2417H Setup

I've just bought a Dell E2417H monitor which i was hoping to connect to my new Dell Latitude E7470Ultrabook.

Unfortunately after purchase i realised the monitor only has VGA or DP connection and the laptop only has HDMI.

I purchased a DP-HDMI adaptor, but the monitor is not recognised.

What are my options?

    * Go back to the top of the Monitor Forum
    * Open FAQ Monitor
    * Open "Video card DVI/HDMI out cannot up convert to Monitor DP/mDP in via a straight cable"

    @MickShack  Your E7470 has a Mini-DisplayPort output, so get yourself a Mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable and you'll be good to go.  (EDIT: Just noticed the original post I was replying to is quite old.  Sorry!)
