But I want to attach the XPS 8940 to the older monitor, which only has

machine I'll buy an HDMI cable. Are there adapters that'll push HDMI
computer output into a monitor VGA or DVI-D input? That way I can buy
an HDMI cable plus an adaptor, rather than a new monitor. <G>
I've got an HDMI-to-VGA so I can drive an old projector from a new
laptop. Works great.
BEWARE - IT'S ONE-WAY.
You need a different adaptor for VGA-to-HDMI, if you want to drive a new
monitor from an old PC.
