dvi vs vga

Post by AMPLIFRIER »

ok....my g/f got a new kick ass widescreen monitor.......it comes with the vga cable.......
it has dvi input on it.

is it worth forking out the dough for the dvi cable?

what is the difference between them?

to the best of my knowledge...

larger lcd's almost require the dvi to handle the amount of digital video traffic. Look around online, you can certainly find a good deal on one i'm sure.
