I just acquired a new 19 inch flat screen display. It has two wrinkles I've
never encountered on previous CRT or flat screen displays I've used:
1. It comes with both a normal 15 pin data cable, but also a "DVI cable.
Installation instructions are to install one or the other. I used the 15
pin. What is DVI?
2. It also comes with a USB cable which I connected up. None of my earlier
monitors used USB. What is its purpose?
