XPS 8930, Nvidia RTX 2060 SI, new monitor?
XPS 8930
I have a 2019 XPS 8930 Tower. My similar-age Dell monitor has died. What new Dell Monitor should I buy to be comparable with my PC? My XPS 8930 has a Geforce Nvidia RTX 2060 SI Graphics card. Will a HDMI cable work?
I’m no hands-on expert, just a generic PC user. Any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks🤔👍

yw the 24 Dell monitor comes w a DP-DP cable included
1x Power cord
1x DP-to-DP cable, 1.8m
ranked as one of 5 best Dell https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell

It depends on the XPS 8930 video card
if the card is high end it would usually have DP which most modern Dell monitors have
if the card is entry level it may have HDMI DVI VGA but no DP. you can still find one of best modern Dell monitor that works w HDMI.
for example https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-24-monitor-p2425h/apd/210-bmgh/monitors-monitor-accessories
it has HDMI

8930 integrated video port has DP but a discrete video card is usually faster than the intel integrated graphics. upload a pic of your PC back view if you can

Your Nvidia RTX 2060 SI video card has both HDMI and DP. it will work w any modern Dell monitor. the 24" Dell is one of the best one and it has both HDMI and DP

@redxps630 That’s so helpful. I will use the review you sent. My current set-up has chugged along faithfully until now so a Dell Monitot replacement makes sense. You have been so generous with your time. I am grateful. Thanks a million and Happy New Year. I hope 2025 is a good year for you.👍👍👍
