Cable to connect Dell Monitor to Dell Laptop

langer123

Hi

I have a dell 26' monitor (About 4 years old), it has Dvi-d and 15 pin D-Sub connection slots.

My Laptop is an Dell Studio xps.
There is a 15 pin slot in my laptop as well as a hdmi slot.

What I need to know is:
Is my only option to get a 15 pin D-Sub M to M Cable?
If not, could somebody suggest better options?
Where's the cheapest place to buy them?

Thanks

You can also get a coverter from db15 to dvi(I always got them with my graffics card).
or you can just go with the basic vga cable.Was looking for a vga cable a while ago and they were priced stupidly(in bricks and mortar stores anyway).

Perhaps try adverts.ie or ebay.

for best quality you are best getting a hdmi to dvi-d cable or adapter. less that €5 for either.
