Hello DGLeroux,

I believe what ScreamCZE is telling is that you don't have an HDMI (source) >>> DisplayPort (monitor) cable. I've never seen one (point 2 of my reply at the time).
They are DisplayPort (source) ->>>> HDMI (monitor).
It is not a reversible cable, they have a direction. A DisplayPort output includes HDMI (it's called DisplayPort++) but an HDMI output does NOT include DisplayPort packets.

If you only have DisplayPort inputs on your monitor, I don't believe you can connect them all to the Dell D3100, or any other product, which has HDMI outputs.

Kind regards,
Alban
