DVI/VGA? dual monitor
I was looking at getting two TFT monitors for dual monitor display, i need to find out whether they use the DVI or AVG output on the graphics card which is a radeon 9800 pro (DVI + AVG out), i understand it supports 2 monitors but only if they use the vga because it comes with a dvi-vga adapter/converter.
Im not well up on monitors as iv had the one i have now for over 4 years, and thought it was time for an update i was looking at getting two LG Flatron L1720B 17" TFT's because they are in my price range, iv tryed looking for details about it but the best i can find is that they are analogue not digital, but im not sure if this is anything related to AVG or DVI... i wouldnt have even bothered about this untill a friend of mine said all TFT monitors use the DVI output on the graphics card.. but i thought surely not because then you wouldnt be able to use tft's for dual display? if this is the case is there a VGA-DVI converter?!
i could be and i am most likely on the wrong track so id appreciate it a lot if some one could put me back on the right one!!
Thank you
