Setting Up Your XPS™ 625

Connect the Display

Your computer does not have an integrated

video connector. You can 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

Connect the display using either the VGA

connector, the HDMI connector, or the DVI

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 display has a DVI connector, use the VGA

cable (with blue connectors at both ends) with a

DVI-to-VGA adapter.
