Not sure that I have understood fully your monitor inputs, but should you not be using a 'Display Port' to 'DVI' adaptor/connector/cable?

I had to get a new 2560 x 1600 Dell monitor. Had 2 earlier models. My prehistoric Mac wouldn't run on anything useful on HTML on the new one. Was perfectly ok on the old screens with DVI cable & USB dual setup Mac BS!

The (digital) video signal is the same with HDMI and DVI. DVI can aditionally carry analog video which HDMI can't. HDMI on the other hand can carry audio and ethernet. Just adding an adaptor will most likely not solve any problems.
