No, my version of the card doesn't have a mDP ouput. It has the reference model outputs as you stated. So when I have the monitor hooked up via DisplayPort or miniDisplayport, I'm using either the mDP->DP cable supplied with the monitor, or a regular DP to DP cable I bought. I don't blame you...

HDMI cable obtained. If I see another seemingly non-caused blank-out, Imma try it. BTW you guys are awesome. Thanks for putting up with this seemingly endless tale of woe. I don't think I ever want to buy a Dell monitor again. :P

I've had a grand total of maybe two months of trouble-free use of my last (third warranty replacement!) U2715H. Not really even that long, as I was out of town for two weeks in December. Now in the last week, it's starting to go blank again. This time around, it's only black for perhaps a...

There does seem to be a general problem with Ultrasharps over the last few months. When I initially researched my problem with the first one - what turned out to be a simply broken miniDisplayPort input - I found at least two other threads on the Dell product forums where someone was having...

Wanted to bring this thread fully up to date. I am now on replacement monitor #3. It is still hardware revision A02, but this time everything works. Here's a synopsis so you don't have to go digging through the other threads: The last monitor I posted about in this thread proved to...

I wouldn't be so sure about that. The only thing that would be different if I had bought via a brick and mortar store is...nothing I can think of. I'm not at all surprised that I found at least one other person having problems with multiple defects...

Received monitor #4 on Friday (11/6). Also hardware revision A02. So far so good. No physical defects noted, all ports seem to work. The only feature I was unable to test was Multi-Stream Transport, that thing where you daisychain 2 or more monitors via DisplayPort. It seems you have to...

No, there's nothing broken off in the port, it's just that the metal socket is so poorly aligned with the hole that you can't plug anything in. It looks as if the black plastic casing has a sort of flange or tab that is meant to rest against the outside of the metal USB socket, positioning it...

I've been through a few graphics driver updates, a new video card, and even an entirely new OS (Windows 10) since I originally purchased the monitor in June, so I think if that had been the issue, I'd have fixed it by now. Good point anyway. I noticed that when I had three monitors hooked up...

Monitor #4 is supposed to ship soon. If that one is also defective, I will press the issue of a refund with Amazon. I emailed them about a refund after the second monitor (first replacement) proved also defective, but they never got back to me. Next time I'll get on the phone. I don't know...

Dell is replacing the monitor yet again. This will be monitor #4. Shipped monitor #2 back this afternoon. Maybe they'll get it right eventually.

OK, this has gone from annoying to just plain ridiculous. I've had the second replacement monitor hooked up alongside the last one for a couple of days. As I've had time I've tested various aspects. So far, good news: -no dead pixels -no uneven light/dark spots and best of all...

Second replacement monitor received. Haven't had a chance to try it yet.

Replacement cable did not help. A second replacement monitor is supposedly on its way.

Another replacement monitor is supposed to be on its way soon. Maybe I'll get the mythical hardware revision A03 and the mDP input will finally work.
