According to Dell's web site, this monitor supports several different
inputs:
VGA
DVI-D
S-Video
Composite video

Your G4 should support one of:
VGA
DVI-I
ADC

For VGA or DVD-I output, just attach the monitor using an appropriate
cable. The web site doesn't say what it comes with, but it probably
includes a VGA cable. Might include a DVI cable as well.

If your computer had ADC output, and you want to use it, you can connect
that to the DVI input, but you'll need an ADC-DVI adapter. Apple sells
these. They shouldn't cost a lot.

I would recommend using either DVI or ADC output, because they carry
digital signals and will (probably) give a better picture than the
analog VGA signal.
