What cables do I need
I just purchased a Dell Inspiron 3668 with a Intel HD Graphics 630 card in it. A friend of mine gave me a Dell 4G monitor ( p2715qt) but none of the cables he gave me will plug into my system.
Any suggestions on what cables are needed to connect? Thanks.

You would need a VGA cable which your more than likely have. It is Blue. You also can use an HDMI cable.
HDMI (MHL) port
Connects to your computer with an HDMI cable or MHL devices with MHL cable (optional).
NOTE: P2715Q flat panels launched from May 2015, will come with HDMI 2.0 in order to support 4K2K with HDMI 60Hz.
DisplayPort (DP) connector (in)
Connects to your computer with a DP cable.
mDP connector (in)
Connects to your computer with an mDP to DP cable.
