Dvi or Vga?

[Norcent]

I got a new lcd monitor and was wondering wich is better?

Should i use both?

i would use DVI

VGA is what every monitor uses, it's the standard monitor connection.

DVI is digital video, and better signal quality, but you have to pay for it

dvi provides a better signal and improved image quality since it's digital. Your video card just has to support it and you'll need a DVI cable. If your monitor didn't come with one you can buy one from Newegg for about $15 (male-to-male).

hmm sorry to be the one asking questions aswell and not answering them but...

say I have a DVI Supporting video card, and my monitor supports only VGA, so if I use a convertor from the DVI to VGA, will it improve the image quality by any thing?

yeah Yoad thats ok I have the same question cause i have 2 computers and 2 different kinds of 19" lcd's!!!

Nope. A video signal is only as good as it's weakest component. It would lose it's quality as it would have to be converted to analog again to be sent through your VGA port on your monitor.

It won't be any better. The converter you've got is a down converter so it will look just like a regular vga connection.
