hi

I am about to upgrade my trusty old CRT monitors to LCD (3 in all).

One of my PCs has a DVI out, the other not (2 x vga, with current dual-monitor setup for digital audio workstation).

I was thinking of this model:

Will an lcd monitor work with just plain old vga graphics card outputs ?

If so, what are the disadvantages of vga vs DVI out with an LCD monitor ?

If I would like to do some (modest, not hardcore) gaming on the PC with DVI out, are there still issues with LCDs (used to be that CRTs were generally better for gaming .. faster response etc.) ?

thanks

Just get the one I got,

The difference between the dvi and vga is the bandwith, resolution the connection can handle to my knowledge. Somone correct me if I'm wrong by all means. The DVI can handle more bandwith and gets better picture / color quality.

Get a good video card if you don't have one already.
