Will this monitor work with this desktop?

So I have this old hpf1905 monitor I'm wondering if it will work with this desktop. http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-x51/pd.aspx

 

Hi my friend , you can buy either a hdmi to vga adapter or hdmi to dvi , take a sharp eyed in this review

Thank you! I'm assuming all I need to do is is plug the cables into the desktop/monitor and it will work correct?

 

I think it works :wave

 

Oh boy thinks? Hmm mind linking me to monitors that will work with the desktop once I go back home I'll check to see if my own monitor will work with it.

 

My friend it will works without problem :wave

 

It turns out it had a vga cable all along http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00655618&lc=en&cc=us&product=447379&dlc=en :-o

 

Do you have the desktop already? I was just going by this picture of the rear of the case and it shows the desktop has having two (DVI) and one HDMI connections. No VGA.

In that case unless the monitor has a DVI cable you would need an DVI-D cable or a VGA to DVI-I adapter.

 

well i emailed them and they said vga or dvi but mind linking me to some converters just in case and no i havent recieved the desktop it comes next week.

 

If they said yours will have a VGA and DVI connector then you are fine will that monitor and its VGA cable. They are probably using a different version of graphics card then the picture I was looking at. Different graphic card versions have different connections.

I usually use ebay for cables/adapters because they are much cheaper than big-box stores which grossly overcharge. Amazon has some decent prices too as long as shipping doesn't get out of hand.

I'll just give a link to a DVI-I to VGA adapter so you see what it looks like: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BFG-DVI-I-VGA-/271093294283?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f1e6b64cb

Or you could get a DVI-D cable since your monitor should have a DVI connector as well (according to specs): http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10209&cs_id=1020902&p_id=2408&seq=1&format=2
