I bought this desktop computer tower because my old one no longer works it was an HP. I use my current monitor dell with the hdmi cable cord and it works perfectly. It was fast and easy to set up and no nosie when using this computer which is perfect for me I am a grad student currently working on my Master program and work from home as well and this is perfect. I will buy another one for my younger brother which he is starting university B.A program. I highly recommend this product and the seller.
