I recently bought a new monitor which can go up to 1080p but only has a VGA port. Which I have heard can cause ghosting. I heard a higher quality VGA cable could help to some extent. Some one else told me DVI can produce much better image quality. So I was thinking should I get a high quality VGA cable or a high quality VGA to DVI cable?

Just VGA cable since the monitor is Analog any way, most people can not tell the difference in the picture Analog or digital (dvi) any way.

a higher quality shielded cable can help if you are seeing an issue, just try it first.

I presume you are also considering DVI from your PC to VGA on the monitor. I don't believe this will make a difference as it'll be the same VGA analogue signals through the DVI connection.

Where DVI is better is with digital DVI, so the signals are digital as oppose to analogue. But this is not compatible with a VGA connection which is purely analogue.

I see thank you.
Would this be considered a good enough VGA cable?
