August 13, 200619 yr I recently contacted NEC over the way they ship the LCD2170NX monitors with DVI-D leads (just bought a 2170NX), when the ATI and Nvidia cards I have all use DVI-I sockets. I thought I would take advantage of the 'special' price on the 24" Dell and buy one of those but the spec on the latest Dell 24" (2407WFP) shows they have started using DVI-D leads now. See the spec PDF http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/produ...kdhs1&sku=59234The NEC LCD 21.3" 2170NX has DVI-D male connectors either end of the cable. I can't find a cable or gender change adapter, with DVI-D on the one end (to connect to the monitor) and DVI-I (to connect to the graphics card) on the other end.The link NEC gave me to try for a gender changer don't sell them and one of the main supplier of connectors and leads for monitors didn't either. I have used the supplied VGA cable to connect but if anybody could advise me where to purchase either a DVI-D to DVI-I cable or gender changer, I would be grateful.A couple of the many suppliers I have tried (UK) - http://www.tech-plus.co.uk/system/index.htmlhttp://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/home/homepage.jspAppreciate any helpRay
August 13, 200619 yr It turned out to be my fault. This time I tried, I applied much more pressure when connecting the monitor cable DVI plug to the graphics card DVI socket and it did eventually plug in. I was just not applying enough pressure. The confusion arose by the amount of holes on the graphics card DVI socket, compared to the pins on the DVI-D cable plug but all is well now.Ray
