Using old Gateway monitor as second display for Late 2013 MBP?

Hi all,

I'm currently running OSX 10.9.4 on a late 2013 MacBook Pro with 15-inch Retina Display. I recently took an old Gateway LCD monitor (with DVI and HDMI portd) off of someone's hands and was wondering if I'd be able to use it as a second display for my MBP. I have a DVI to HDMI adapter and an HDMI cable. If this is doable, instructions would be great.

Thank you!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), 15-inch, late 2013
