Which Display Port Cable Should I Purchase?

Your Dell system comes with both VGA and Display Port Connections for dual monitors support.

  1. Connect the 1st monitor via a VGA-to-VGA cable (cable comes included with monitor).
  2. Check the ports on the 2nd monitor. Newer monitors have two video ports: a DVI-D Port and a VGA Port.
    Older monitors may come with just a VGA port.
    • If your monitor has both a DVI-D (white color port) & a VGA (blue color port), purchase either one of the display port cables.
    • If you have an older monitor, which may have only 1 port (VGA), purchase the display port to VGA cable.

-If you are purchasing two 19" Dell monitors for dual display, please purchase the "Display Port to VGA Adaptor" for the second monitor. (the 19" monitor only has a VGA port)

-If you are purchasing two 22" Monitors for dual display, you can purchase either a Display Port to VGA or Display Port to DVI cable. (the 22" monitor has both ports.)
