DisplayLink W7 X64 & DELL U2410 HDMI No Lights, No Display

Well I got it to work ... in a way. I changed my connection to the monitor to use DVI instead of HDMI and that signal was picked up by the monitor just fine. Then I swapped out the DVI for the HDMI and then that worked as well. I'm confused as to why that worked.

I'm going to try rebooting and see whether the monitor continues to get and display the signal.

To answer your question, no, the LED light on the DisplayLink device doesn't light up.

Another question: It only lists resolutions up to 1400x900 and I know this monitor can handle 1920x1200 since I have 2 other identical monitor models currently running on this PC at that resolution. Is there any way I can get this monitor to be set at that resolution as well?
