What cable do I need to connect Dell 1707FPt Monitor with MacBook Pro

Hi and thanks in advance for your answers.
I have this monitor (Dell 1707FPt) :http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/monitors/1707FPT/EN/index.htm
And I wish to use it with my MacBook Pro. The cable I have now (VGA I believe) does not fit anywhere on the MacBook.
I'd like to know what cable I need to buy to connect the two.
Thanks!

Thank you for your answer a brody. I hope this information is what you need.

  • Need help connecting Dell U2713HM monitor to MacBook Pro

    What is the best way to connect a Dell U2713HM monitor to MacBook Pro OS 10.7.5 to maximize the resolution 2560 x 1440? I was using a VGA adapter on my old Viewsonic monitor that hooked into the Thunderbolt port, I think. When I use my old adapter with the new Dell monitor, it stops my Mac from responding and the monitor says it has no DVI connection. When I unplug the adapter from my Mac, it starts working again.  I'm not very good with all these port options and descriptions so talk real slow, please.

    1 Dual Link Digital Visual Interface connectors (DVI-D) with HDCP
    1 DisplayPort 1.2 (DP)
    1 High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
    1 Video Graphics Array (VGA)
    1 USB 3.0 upstream port
    4 USB 3.0 downstream ports
    Thank you!

  • What cable do I need to connect a 2nd Monitor from the thunderbolt port?

    Hi I have got one of the brand new iMac's with thunderbolt ports - what cable do I need to connect my Imac to a 2nd display either VGA or DVI - also is there a budget version about as well as I am sure its going to cost a lot from the apple store

    Thanks

  • Connecting Dell u2715h Monitor to Macbook Pro Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013

    I recently purchased the Dell UltraSharp 27 Monitor U2715H to work as a second monitor with my Macbook Pro Retina 15-inch (late 2013).
    What connection cables do I need to make this work most effectively?

    Hi,
    I bought the same monitor. I will receive it next week, but i read some blogs about the best alternatives for getting the 2560x1440 and my first option will be connecting my macbook pro retina 13' using the thunderbolt (mini-display port) to the mini-display port available in the monitor.
    I'm planning using this cable:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD862ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-cable-05-m
    A mini-reference about the mini-display port (It was useful for me):
    Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ) - Apple Support
    This is what I'm planning to do. Note that I don't know if it works! I think so, but I don't know. I will tell you if it works next week.
    If you have a mini-display port to display port cable it should work too.
    Regards,
    Carlos.

    Actually you need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter. It will carry both audio and video.
    This one will work: Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt® to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support

    What cable do I need to connect my 27 inch iMac to my Cinema Display to have two displays?

    It depends on what type(s) of video input you have on your TV. If you've an open HDMI port on your TV, you can use a Thunderbolt (Mini DisplayPort) to HDMI adapter and it will carry the sound also. See -> here.
    Good luck,

    What cable do I need to connect an I-pod classic to a Boze wave machine?

    If you're trying to transfer the music, from the Nano to the Air, you have to either download your purchased songs again in the purchased tab of iTunes or sync them to the Air, using iTunes on your computer.
    Its been a few years since I've used a Nano, but IIRC, the only way to get the music on the device to begin with is by syncing with iTunes, so the songs have to be in your iTunes library.

  • What cable do i need to connect my macbook pro to the hdmi input on my tv?.

    what cable do i need to connect my macbook pro to the hdmi input on my tv?.

    hi Sam
    It's actally an HDMI adapter that Apple sells.
    You hook the small adapter up to your MBP and then HDMI cable to your TV. Please note adapter is for HDMI compliant for HDMI rev 1.3 and above:
    My TV, which has DVI port also, besides HDMI gets its best resolution by DVI of which also sell at Apple store for the MBP.
    Bottom line is check w/ your TV manufacture to be sure your flat screen supports 1920 X 1200.
    Let 'er rip and...
    cheers

    What cable do I need to connect iPhone /iPad to my receiver

    Any stereo audio cable will work strictly for audio, just like your headphones.
    If you want to use AirPlay Mirroring you need an AirPlay - compatible receiver, or an AppleTV.
    Denon, Marantz, Pioneer, Onkyo, Yamaha and others all manufacture AirPlay compatible receivers.

    Hi jackwyatt,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you would like to connect your MacBook Pro to a projector to output the display and sound, the cables and adapters you need will vary depending on the specific model MacBook Pro that you have.
    I recommend this page for getting a good idea of which adapters you might need:
    About Apple video adapters and cables
    Additionally, the tips in this article can also apply to using a projector as a display:
