Can ya get a better shot of that white port? It's the DVI, but the hole pattern matters, as QF so correctly pointed out.
The blue one is, of course, VGA or SVGA -- quite standard.
The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
But the cable I took out of it is definitely the single.
Yeah, what matters is the "extra" prongs and pins on the cable -- your monitors port has too few holes. I think you'd be best off sticking with VGA for that monitor.

No, the monitor will accept a dual link cable. This is good.
A dual link plug will accept a single link cable, but a single link plug cannot accept a dual link cable. Since the monitor will accept a dual link OR a single link cable, there are more options for cables that can be used.
The only DVI cable you can't use with that monitor is DVI-I. Any other DisplayPort to DVI cable will work.
Curiosity never hurt anyone. It was stupidity that killed the cat.

I'll defer that to you --- I managed to bypass the whole DVI saga. Don't use DVI unless it's the only option.

That cable is definitely DVI.
So, if your computer has VGA output, you need a VGA to DVI cable like the one I pictured.
the dell I showed her had VGA and display port. If her monitor is DVI (the pictures she posted show it is) then she needs the DVI to displayport cable for the best quality.
Quanta is correct. The dell I showed you is a small form factor and won't accept full size video cards so if you want to expand later, buy something else. sorry.

Nah, it's fine. It'll do what I need for a couple months which was my initial game plan. In June or July I'll get something else that has what I need. I underestimated my budget is all.
