I'm getting a MBP Retna and want to use Dell UltraSharp 24" external monitor.

I want to connect a Dell external monitor to the 15" Macbook Pro Retna laptop to use as a second monitor. The dell 2410 monitor has ports for DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA & Composite. What Adapter or adapter(s) do I need to order from Apple? Thank you for your help.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

This solution works great. (In short the problem is because the MacBook Pro thinks that the monitor is a TV, so it is outputting the wrong color profile to the monitor - manually overriding it does the trick!)

Thank you Mathew Inkson!
