You can connect to a computer through the HDMI, The picture quality depends on the graphic output of your computers graphic card. Alienware computers tend to have higher end graphic cards so you might even be able to output the maximum resolution of the display. I have connected my iMac to tv's before and although the picture was great for watching movies, reading text was a little more difficult.

Has HDMI and a cable for that connection comes with it. Should say on specs (about connections). Don't know dispay port? But then, I'd consider myself as not being knowledgeable about computers...just enough to do what I need. However, I got a good deal and I do comparison shop and like to have the best. And its working great for me. Good luck with your search. If you haven't done so, look at there web site and even call or chat on line. It was after talking with them that I decided to go with ASUS.

There is a good chance it will. This device is amazing. I only suggest caution where processor speed may be an issue. These quotes are copied from Amazons Specs and Performance "USB graphics uses your system's CPU and GPU for graphics rendering. We recommend playing motion video and 3D games on your main GPU attached display" and from Amazons Supported Operating Systems "USB graphics requires dual core or 2 Ghz or better CPU for best performance.". I am using a Dell laptop with a dual core 1.7 Ghz and the Plugable works great. However I would suggest using a mini HDMI cable connected to the mini HDMI port on your Dell Venue as a first choice.

If you are wanting to view the HD homerun on your laptop it should be fine. If you are wanting to use this laptops as a WMC to an external TV it may be sketchy. I use a Lenovo I5 laptop with HD video card on a 55 inch LED and it gets choppy at times.

Probably not, unless your DELL PC also has an HDMI port or you get two of these. We used these to adapt DELL laptops with display ports to connect to HDMI displays on monitors and projectors, they work great.

Actually, you don't even need the HDMI. It will work fine with a VGA cable and speaker cable. My wife's Windows 7 Inspiron runs it with no problems.

This is just an interface card, to give you DVI output. So if you dell has a PCI slot , then yes it should be. Personally I would purchase a actual video card with a graphics processor and memory on it if your looking to just gain the DVI port, this option will actually give you better performance than the feature card your looking at, and it will display at a faster rate.

Yes you can, but you need an adaptor, i believe this monitor only uses MiniDisplay port. Common PC monitor uses HDMI, VGA, and DVI connections. Unless you have some of the newer Video Cards that have MiniDisplay port out then, you'll have to buy a seperate adaptor to work.

I connected this card in my HTPC directly to my HDMI receiver for playing Netflix and some light gaming. This card sounds as good as it looks. Surround sound is good as well. make sure to install the new NVIDIA driver experience software to ensure the HD audio drivers load correctly. There are a lot of garbage cables out there so make sure you are using a cable that has HDMI 1.3, 1.4, or 1.4a with high speed ethernet markings on it to ensure the surround sound works correctly. Good luck

I have the previous generation of this monitor. Full Resolution through HDMI is not supported on these. Dell decided not to include it in the firmware for the monitor as they did not see many people using devices on HDMI that would go above 1080p. As all dells come with at least on Displayport. If you have an active HDMI to Display port converter it would work coming from your video card to the monitor (your hdmi becoming displayport) as the monitor would see it as displayport. However, this only works if your videocard supports the HDMI versions and cabling as listed in everyone elses answers. I've been VERY happy with my previous purchase and would consider purchasing this version as a 2nd. I have the previous generation of this monitor.

This depends on the video output of the PC. A friend of mine had a simular senario trying to connect a Samsung Smart TV that had only HDMI output to an Emachine desktop that only had VGA. It didnt work.

No, not using HDMI. I'm hooked up with a conventional multipin connector from the comp's vidio output, and running at 1280 X 768 on the computer, which results in a very nice full screen PC image on the TV/monitor as well as an acceptable fullscreen TV image (I switch back and forth between the PC and cable frequently). By "acceptable", I mean the TV image is slightly laterally distorted at full screen, but is is not annoying to me.

Scrupples' answer sounds about right. Maybe look for a budget monitor. I wonder if you could back up your old computer and then load the files onto the Dell. I'm not the most computer savvy guy BTW.

This computer has a HDMI and VGA output. As long as your monitor has one of these inputs you will be fine.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for posting your question here, Tewana! If your Dell monitor only has VGA ports, then you cannot use this product to connect the Dell monitor to any computer as the Plugable USB3-HDMI-DVI does not support VGA. It only supports connectivity via HDMI and DVI. Hope the above information helps! If you need any additional information, please do feel free to shoot us an email at support@plugable.com. We are here to help! Thanks! Regards, Roze Plugable Technologies

Please visit Dell website for owner's manual.HDMI input, I doubt it, don't think I've ever seen it.HDMI output, I tried it but it will NOT support my hi res monitors and was a huge disappointment HOWEVER the NVIDIA graphics card video outputs work GREAT! Much higher capacity than the HDMI (which was built into the motherboard).

Yes you definitely can. I have mine set up that way. You just need a video card that has an HDMI output.
