That sucks, but it's also good to know. This is clearly a widespread problem as there are many posts on various forums. It's unfortunate that the industry hasn't given any answers for it.
That is one option. It would be inconvenient to have to turn off the monitors every time I'm away from the computer but need it to keep running because it's doing something. Less so than having to reseat the DP cable every time but it's still not the fix I'm going for. Frankly it's an absolutely...
I've heard that's the only cable that's actually certified by VESA. I'm not convinced that's the problem I'm having though since disconnecting pin 20 didn't solve the problem for me. Hopefully it will fix yours.
I read a response from a dell rep on their forums (don't have the link anymore)...
Solved!
I tried a second cable with the same results. So I bent pin 20 out of the way on one end of the cable and now the monitor wakes up quickly and without fail. It's ridiculous that non-compliant cables are even an issue. I'll have to try and find one that is compliant because I don't...
Ah, USB is indeed DC. Asking for something that "runs on dc" isn't terribly clear. I'm still not sure if the op is asking for a monitor powered by usb or something else though. I mean, cars have 12v dc outlets, he could mean that as well.
I thought that all monitors (really any electronics) internally ran on DC power. I thought the inverter was just inside most monitors rather than an external "brick".
EDIT: Can you be more specific about what you're looking for and what you plan to use it for?
That's interesting. I don't know if it's the same thing or not. Mine only affects DP and I've read a lot of other complaints also only about DP. I've not previously used the DP port on my video card because I've always used the to DVI ports. It's only now that I have three monitors that I've...
Good thought but I've tried that and it doesn't bring it back. Interestingly, the screen is detected and the video card treats it as being there in that even though you can't see any image on the U2713HM (middle screen), you can tell it's there by the way the other two monitors behave. You can...
It's full sized displayport. The output on the card is full sized DP and the input of the 2713HM is full sized displayport. I'll check out the link anyway in case it's still relevant though.
Edit: Ah pin 20. I don't know if that's the issue or not. I'm going to test another cable tonight when I...
Yeah, I'm going to have to try swapping cables and cards. Looking around, this seems to be a common complaint, but there's wildly conflicting reports of what causes it and how to fix it. Some of the fixes are completely nonsensical and I was hoping someone here might have better reasoning than...
That seems like a major problem not to have a fix for. Does anyone know exactly which piece of hardware causes it? Is it the monitor, cable, or video card? I just setup two U2713HMs using displayport connected to an NVS300 card at work and it doesn't have any sleep issues. This would lead me to...
I just got my new Dell U2713HM and it's connected via DP to my 5870. I also have two other monitors connected via DVI. Windows is set to put the monitors in power save mode after 15 minutes without use. This part works, but then the U2713HM doesn't wake up. The other two monitors do, but the...
Yeah, I've heard about the QC issues. It put me off a little, but they come with the 3 year pixel perfect warranty and I've heard they're really good about replacing them until you get a good one. I also wonder just how widespread this problem is. I image it's more than usual because of the...
Amazon has the Dell U2713HM monitor for $549.99 and free shipping. Also qualifies for Prime if you have it.

Newegg has it for $549.99 and free shipping after $100 instant coupon code (KJAKCNE55)...
Thanks for the advice. I have considered them and they are tempting. I have a hard time getting over the no warranty aspect. I also don't like the lack of inputs. I've had great experiences with Dell UltraSharps and trust that I'm going to get a great monitor with correctly calibrated colors...
Looking around, the main complaints seem to be back light bleed, cross hatching, and dead pixels. The deal is from Dell outlet and only has a 90 day warranty, but wouldn't that cover any of these issues? Also, as far as I know, there's no way to guarantee you get an A02 revision if/when they...
I do some gaming and then normal office multitasking stuff and coding, often times projects that benefit from having multiple windows open at once. That's why I currently have two monitors and want to go to three. My thinking was that I could use the center U2713HM for gaming, in which case it...
I currently have two 24" monitors. A Dell U2407 at 1920x1200 and a cheapo Acer TN panel at 1920x1080. I'm building a new machine and am looking at new monitors. I was going to go with 3 Dell U2412M's, but then I tried out a U2713HM at work and it's awesome. So now I'm planning on the U2713HM...
I've been hearing that MST hubs are coming, but I've never actually seen one for sale. Apparently Club 3D "makes" one, but I can't find it available anywhere.

Given that, I'm really surprised that there aren't more cards with 3+ mini/displayport connections. Checking newegg, there's only a single 7970 ghz card with more than two mdp connections, and that's the MSI Lightning.
Thanks for the info on eyefinity. It's good to know that there doesn't seem to be tearing if use a displayport adapter. Reading up further on the adapter angle, a lot of people are saying it requires an active displayport adapter rather than passive, but that could be card dependent. If I...
I'm building a new Haswell machine. I've looked at video cards but have decided to hold off on buying a new card until the next line comes out since the current line is around a year old already.
I'm currently using two monitors with only one of those used for gaming. I'd like to choose a...
There's only one restaurant by that me that's worth doing but I grabbed 5 of them. I didn't realize until after the order that you can only use one restaurant specific coupon per month. That's ok though, I'll just eat there once a month for five months.
Whenever there's a deal on Vertex 2, someone inevitably posts about the reports of failures for these drives. I'm skeptical that it's as wide spread as people are making it seem plus there's always warranties.
I'm gonna bite.
The Staples near me was out of stock but I was able to order it online from one of their kiosks and pay at the register. The cashier didn't give me any trouble. He just scanned the coupons and was very nice. Final Total $126 and change
P.S. - Swedish Fish make an awesome filler.
Out of the box, the gpu was set to 875mhz and the memory was at 1225mhz. According to the specs of the card we originally ordered, the gpu is supposed to be 850mhz, and the memory 1200mhz.
I also had the same ordering experience as you. I actually didn't even contact them saying I wanted to...
I FINALLY received the 5870 I ordered from dell with this deal. It is visiontek and it is a 5870 but it doesn't appear to be the same model. The cooling system is different and it's overclocked out of the box. The cooler is a large heatpipe assembly whereas every picture of the visiontek 5870...
I currently have the 2407 ultrasharp and consider to be one of the best purchases I've ever made. It cost me $650 at the time and the thought of getting this for ~$450 is kind of tempting.
Has anyone used both and can give me some input on how they compare? I'd really like to use my 2407...
I've already received my rebate card for this one. I really hate the whole prepaid visa card for the rebates though. They're a real pain, but I guess money is money.
When I first put everything in the envelope I had cut out the UPC and taped it to the form like it said, then after sealing...
Picked up a 5870 for $347 after tax. The price was inflated some to begin with but it's still a good deal with the 30% off. It was OOS but it let me order it anyway and says the expected ship date is 5/18.
I had always avoided Tiger Direct in the past because of the bad stories I'd heard but $70 was too good to pass up. Kind of regretting ordering that drive now though. They actually ask for the last 4 digits of your SSN after you order. Who would ever it give it to them? This is certainly the...
The MIR requires the UPC, but this is an OEM drive and I don't recall if any of my previous OEM drives came with UPC labels. Does anyone know if this is an issue with claiming this MIR?

Was about to jump on it for the side panel on my new stacker 830, but these fans only have 3 pin connectors. I've never had a motherboard with more than 3x 3pin fan connectors (and one of those is for the cpu). The cheapest 3->4 pin adapters that ship from a amazon (that I could find) thus...
I've been looking for a nice server case and this seems to be pretty good, but the $42 shipping seems steep. It still seems like a decent deal despite the gouge on the shipping.
