I have bought new cables as my laptop did not have VGA input or the same HDMI as the monitor. I have checked the cable on my work del laptop and it connects to that.

What is your computer ? Does it have HDMI port ? Your Dell monitor has DisplayPort 1.2 and VGA ports. The easiest to connect them is to use HDMI (from computer) to DP (on monitor) using a bidirectional HDMI-DP cable.
