no, you would need an usb to hdmi adapter I assume. As it is it has usb ports only

It should through it's USB 3.0 ports connected to a "port replicator" with video outputs.

you can connect to an external monitor, but graphics card will not support split screen. you will have the same screen on both monitors. as for keyboard, any usb keyboard will work.

No. The signal is going the other way.. It converts mini display port to sVideo monitor. And it doesn't always work with my computers.

No, this monitor has VGA and DVI (w/HDCP) connections. You could use a HDMI to DVI adapter or HDMI to DVI cable for functionality.

Brad: I'm sorry, I have not used it for that purpose. Since I have a MAC laptop, it didn't have the connector port that I needed, so I bought this so I can use the 15-pin end on my external monitor and plug the USB end into my laptop. That works fine. Since it is a standard 15-pin end, My guess is that it will work, bit i haven't done anything other than use it to connect an external monitor to my laptop. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Software is needed on Windows systems. I forgot to install the software before plugging in monitor, and it would not work. It automatically found some sort of driver, but that didn't work, so I had to uninstall that driver and install from the CD, and then it worked well.

might want to check if your monitor has audio though.. otherwise you will need to find a way to hook up to external speakers..

If you computer is DVI, then there is an inexpensive adapter for using with the HDMI. Yes, works well as monitor.

My documentation shows that it only have a VGA and DVI input, if you have a HDMI to DVI adapter or cable you can try that way.

There is no hardware way to connect to external monitors. You can use software apps to connect to certain streaming devices.

No. I bought a Plugable USB 3.0 DisplayLink to go with mine, but beware of their free trial software Multiple Monitors; try not to use that cause you have to buy it after 30 days.

As far as I can tell you should have no problems, your monitor has a VGA input cord, so it should just be plug and play.

I use it from a notebook to monitor and it works great. Seems as long as you have an hdmi out port it should work.

Agreed! We like out Dell as well! We use ours very portable and have not tried hooking it up to an external monitor. However, have you tried going to "Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display\Screen Resolution" and adjusted the resolution settings? I've often used this at work to use various laptops with various viewing hardware in conference rooms including old 36" tube TV's and have generally found a resolution that works from the controls of the laptop operating system. Windows 7 has 15 different resolution settings. Older version do not have that many if I remember correctly. Anyway, good luck and I hope you find a solution.
