Is the Dell E2016HV good for gaming?

No. Its 5 ms response time and 60 Hz TN panel are fine for office work but not for fast games, and there is no HDMI for consoles.

Can I connect a laptop with HDMI?

Only through an HDMI-to-VGA adapter. The monitor has just one VGA input, so check your laptop or dock has VGA or plan for an adapter.

Yes. It has a VESA mount, so you can use a monitor arm or wall bracket instead of the included stand.

For documents, email and spreadsheets it is workable, but text is less sharp than on a 1080p screen of the same size.

No. The stand only tilts; there is no height adjustment or pivot, so a VESA arm is the way to raise it.

The monitor, its stand and a VGA cable are typically included; check the listing for the exact bundle.
