Question 1

Does this monitor include VGA cable with connector?
Is it compatible with Dell Inspiron 530 desktop?

Accepted Answer

Mine did come with the VGA cable, but I had my own DVI-D cable waiting for it.  I can't think of a reason for it not to be compatible with any given video chipset.  However, the older chipsets would not be able to take advantage of the higher screen resolutions in a monitor like this.  It seems your computer has a "Nvidia GeForce 8300GS" chipset for graphics, which supports up to 2560x1600, so you should be able to use the monitor to its full capacity (1920x1080).

Question 2

Does it have speaker?

Accepted Answer

No it does not. It also does not have a built-in camera. I bought it for my mom and not used it much but as far as I can tell the picture quality is fantastic. She wants one with a built-in camera though so I will be getting to use this for my second monitor. :)

Question 3

Does this monitor have usb port?

Accepted Answer

This monitor does not have usb ports.

Question 4

Why do the specs list a DVI capability?  Dell's website lists the E2414Hr as only having VGA.  The similar, but higher priced E2414H is the one with VGA and DVD-D.  Even your package picture shows only the VGA cable is supplied.

Accepted Answer

I recently purchased the E2414HR and it does indeed have both vga and dvi ports. However it does only come with a vga cable and a power cord. You would need to purchase the dvi cable separately.

Question 5

Is this monitor be used for dual monitor system and does it have proper plugs for dual monitor setup?

Accepted Answer

Al - yes, this can be used as a dual monitor, mine is set up as dual monitor. You can use VGA plug that is included but resolution is better with DVI plug.

Question 6

Will we need a special video card for these monitors?  We have dual monitors currently and are hoping to plug and play or at least be prepared to purchase the correct video card...

Accepted Answer

This monitor comes with ONLY two possible connections; one DVI (white connector), and one VGA (blue connector). This is also specifically listed in the product specifications page.

The monitor comes supplied with a VGA cable, but does not come with a DVI.

If you are looking to purchase a video card based on the monitor you have, or are about to purchase, you should look for DVI or VGA connections on your prospective GPU.

Question 7

Does this monitor tilt, for viewing angle adjustment?

Accepted Answer

The viewing angle can be adjusted as well as the Height.

Question 8

Will this work with a standard vga connection?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this monitor supports VGA and DVI inputs. It also comes with a VGA cable.

Question 9

Is it just me, or is this monitor curved slightly? All the pictures make it seem that way.

Accepted Answer

I bought the monitor and it doesn't seemed curved to me. I am really happy with the buy. The price is great, so far the quality hasn't fallen any and overall it was a really good buy for me. I would recommend it to my friends( and I have! )

Question 10

Will this work with win 8 as a touch screen ?

Accepted Answer

No.  It is an ordinary, old-school screen.  You will not find a 24 inch touch screens anywhere at this time.  It is a very light unit, weighing half as much as older CCFL based monitors.  It is definitely in the top three of all monitors I have purchased, and I have purchased a dozen different kinds over the past 10 years.
