I put 9 pin in the post because someone said that is what it is. But to be
honist it looks much like a USB cable than anything else

Hi Roger,

The only type of computer port I have ever comes across that is 9 pin would
be a serial port and it is only HP that I am aware of that still put these
on some of their PCs.

There are 3 types of connections that monitors can use that I am aware of:

VGA - This is the 15 pin connector you mention.

DVI - This has a 2 sections to it, one with 24 pins and another with 4 pins
and then 1 or 2 longer pins depending on the variant of DVI.

HDMI - This uses the standard HDMI connector found on TVs, PVRs, games
consoles etc.

I have looked the model of PC you mention up online and the images seem to
show an HDMI port below the VGA port if the PC is stood vertically.

I hope the above helps.

Kind regards,

Stewart.

I apologise for the cross posting but I'm trying to reach as many as
possible. I have just taken delivery of a new 24 inch Samsung monitor. As
George said it is a 9 pin connection rather than the 15 pin on it's
predecessor . This is not a problem but I noticed the Dell Vostro 3268
desktop I have seems to have a socket that appears to be the right size
right below the 15 pin port on the back of the tower. I haven't tried to
plug anything into it in case I'm not correct and end up frying something.
Does anyone know if this machine has dual connection ports for 9 and 15 pin
cables please.

Many thanks Roger
