    What computer model? What specific video card? What video out ports are on the video card?

    U2412M video in ports = Display Port, DVI, VGA
    U2412M cables provided = VGA, DVI

    HDMI out from a computer cannot upconvert to DP (DisplayPort) on a monitor. Look at the rear bottom of the XPS 8500 Do you see a video card with video out ports like 10, 11 in the picture? Or are you using 7?

    * Turn both the XPS 8500 and the U2412M off
    * Connect like this =
    XPS 8500 Radeon HD 7570 DVI out --> U2412M DVI to DVI cable --> U2412M DVI in
    * Turn them both on
    * Press the U2412M #3 Menu button
    * Go to Input Source
    * Choose DVI
    * Exit the Menu

    Sorry all three are the same U2412M and to hook up the third I need to use the HDMI port on the XPS8500

    Three monitors? I needed to know that at the beginning. What are the other two monitor models? Using this formula, describe exactly how those two are hooked up. Example =

    XPS 8500 Radeon HD 7570 DVI out --> DVI to DVI cable --> U2412M DVI in
