Let me check your Dell specifics.

Your computer has:

  • Three USB 3.2 Gen
  • Four USB 2.0 ports
  • One USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port

So, you need to find a cord compatible with these ports.
Do you have any additional questions I can help you with?

which one for the monitor

It depends on your monitor model, *****. You can use any of this port to connect your monitor to your computer.

Great.
There is no need to connect your phone to your computer.
Simply, take a photo on your smartphone and then send it to our email help@howly.com
I'll be able to review it from there.

Customer Replay

Its in the air
Let me know if you get it

Thanks, I'll check it all.
Ok, *****. In your case, you can connect your monitor to your computer. There are cords on the market that supports connection like that.
It looks like you need a classic USB-to-VGA adapter.
Like that one > https://amzn.to/3m9fwxm
However, I'll ask you to send me the back of your monitor again.
To identify the model properly.

Customer Replay

great where might i find one?

Just to be sure, that it's the right type of adapter.
You can find cords like that almost anywhere: Amazon, eBay, your nearliest tech store.

Therefore, you can simply buy classic VGA to USB cord or adapter and connect it without problem.
I’m glad I was able to get that sorted out for you, *****. Before you go, is there anything else I can assist you with today?
