    Hi

    Hoping someone can help. I have an XMGP702 (Clevo P170?), with hd4000 and 680m, running win7 x64. I've just got an Asus PB278Q monitor 1440p.

    When I connect via displayport, nothing happens - no plug and play indication, nuttin.

    I can connect via hdmi or dvi, with a max resolution of 1080p.

    What am I doing wrong? My instinct is the displayport on the back of my machine is not active...

    EDIT: sorted... unplugging and replugging and rebooting randomly and repeatedly worked. Technology eh?

    was about to say a reboot normally sorts that problem out but youve already sussed that out :)

    Sometimes Windows doesn't default the output on it's own. Sort of strange that it was exclusive to the DisplayPort on your laptop, but good that it's working now. :)
