I guess you've checked the following:
. That you've switched the video output to the d-sub connector on the laptop (using Fn and whichever Fkey selects the swap video from internal display to the external video). Or it's in dual-screen mode.
. That you are using a resolution for the external monitor that is in-range for the monitor.
If you are, as the monitor works with another computer it points to a fault in the Inspiron... that it's external video has failed in some way. As it's all built-in, it's probably a case of take it to a shop for repair.
