Connecting a Macbook Pro to a Dell Monitor

[brm4620]

I have a 13" Macbook Pro (mid-2010) and I want to connect it to a Dell Ultrasharp 1708FP monitor. I thought I bought the right cables, but I was completely off.

The ports on the monitor look like this:

And I probably don't need to include this here, but in case there was any confusion over which model of Macbook Pro I have, the ports on my computer look like this:

Can anyone help me with which cables I need to get? Also, if anyone knows of any additional setup I need, that would be great too!

You need a mini displayport to DVI-D adapter for your Mac (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/A). Then you can use a DVI-D cable to connect to your monitor.

You either need a MiniDisplayPort to DVI or MiniDisplayPort to VGA adapter.
