This is the Wal-Mart listing from which I purchased it: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Dell-Opt...U52DMWAAQkzX2m-IZl48yu2bnc6NmBoMaAtQ_EALw_wcB

That 9pin port is a serial port (RS-232) and NOT a video port.
Your video ports are those two Display Port ones.
If you monitor does not have a Display Port, you'll need an adapter that convert 15pin VGA (aka D-SUB aka analogue) to DP but you'd be better off getting a monitor that has a DP option to utilise the advantages of a digital (with audio) signal, also has better resolution than VGA.
