    Hello Clevo experts,

    I have an Clevo P370SM-A 980m SLI , 32GB RAM, 4910MQ .

    Today i bought an External monitor. Acer XB280HK .
    http://www.anandtech.com/show/8910/acer-xb280hk-4k-gsync-monitor-review/7

    I connected the Clevo to the new monitor using a mini DP to DP cable but it doesnt work.

    http://www.amazon.co.jp/ミヨシMCO-miniDisplayPort-DisplayPort変換ケ-ブル-ホワイト-DPC-DP01-WH/dp/B005OP1AS2

    What could be the problem ? Acer monitor has DP 1.2 but Clevo Thunderbolt is only 1.1 compatible.


    Could this be the problem ?

    Thank you.

    It does use the update to the thunderbolt chipset to allow DP1.2, make sure both the display cable and adapter are high quality.

    Where can i find thunderbolt chipset drivers to allow DP 1.2.

    I tried quality cables and the same ressult.
    The notebook monitor getting dark and external monitor showing No Signal.

    It seems it does not work , has someone connected this Clevo to an external monitor with resolution over Full HD through Thunderbolt port ?
