I can't connect my U2414H to my Vaio laptop. I could not use the DP cable supplied by Dell because my Vaio has no compatible port. I bought an HDMI cable which fits into the laptop and the input is plugged into the monitor's mini DP port but monitor won't connect. The monitor input is set to mini DP.
I've tried all the display options on the Vaio - extend, duplicate, second screen only but nothing works.
Please help. Dell support has not been of any use.
BTW what is the USB cable supplied by Dell for? I have it plugged into laptop and monitor. Is it even necessary?
