DVI connector or VGA connector?

My vid card came with an adapter for VGA to DVI. The Sony LCD monitor I
have comes with a VGA connector. Should I use the DVI adapter or the VGA
connetor?

On an LCD, if it has a DVI connector, you should generally use it.

Use the VGA connector on the video card, no need to use that adapter.

But this is about monitors/LCD screens with only a VGA connector. I'd like
to know this aswell.

With a screen that only has a VGA connector, is it better to run the video
card through a standalong VGA cable or is it better to run the video card
through a VGA-DVI connector first???

Do you get different results with an LCD via DVI-VGA over VGA, and also with
a CRT running through a DVI-VGA connector over a VGA?

Cheers Dre

Exactly my question. Too bad Im too drunk to articulate the question so

If the monitor only has a VGA connection then use the video card's VGA
output. You do NOT need to use the DVI converter.

Unless the card doesn't have a VGA output. Mine doesn't.

If the Sony LCD only has a VGA connector, you should get rid of it. LCD
monitors should only be driven with a digital connection. Anything else
would be ass-backwards.
