I have a Dell Latitude E6420 and recently got a Dell Monitor P221 2H. The issue is that the Laptop is not detecting the external monitor and Monitor is displaying "Entering Power save mode".
I tried connecting it through the VGA cable that came with the monitor and also tried with a DVI-D cable to connect but no success.
I tried going to control panel->Display and tried the option to detect and identify but nothing on the monitor.
The display adapter shows Standard VGA Graphic Adapter if it helps.
What i am missing and how can i get my external monitor working with my laptop. Any help will be highly appreciated.
EDIT::
--> I tried using both docking station(DVI-D) and connecting directly to laptop(VGA port in this case).
--> Pressing Fn + f8 did not help(nothing happened in this case).
--> I have latest display drivers.
--> Laptop has BIOS version A08 (did not updated this as this is the latest for my laptop)
--> Using Windows 7 64 bit

You need to provide more details. [Edit] your question to include the following. Is this in a docking station or just connected directly to the laptop? Have you tried
Fn+F8to cycle through the displays? Have you updated the BIOS? Have you made sure you have the latest display drivers? What OS are you using? – CharlieRB – 2013-02-15T12:49:15.637Have you verified this monitor work connected to another computer? Does any other monitor work with your laptop? – CharlieRB – 2013-02-15T17:58:07.607
@CharlieRB Yes the Monitor works with other laptop. I don't have any other monitor check the second point. – abhi – 2013-02-15T19:41:40.737
