Both monitors inlcude VGA cables, but I need DVI. From what I've seen, DVI to VGA adapters are considerably cheaper than DVI cables.
I have two DVI outputs on the HD 5870. I already have one DVI to VGA adapter that came with my motherboard, haven't had any issues with using it so far.
For some reason, my links tend to not work on these forums. I copy 'em straight from the browser and paste 'em into the thread...?
Anyhow,
the monitor: LG W2753V-PF 27" look it up on NewEgg.com
the active adapter: R478G look it up on Dell.com
the DVI to VGA adapter: keywords, "DVI to VGA adapter" on eBay. There are tons of them that are in the $5 range, which kinda' makes me wonder about quality...
Why scew up a perfectly good digital signal from DVI, which you are spending money to produce, only to ram it through a crappy analog VGA lowest common denominator POS? Between the monitors, the graphics card, and the active converter, your into this for the better part of $2000 bucks already. Just spend the extra 20 and get some DVI cables, and avoid degrading your signal or possibly causing eyefinity problems by ramming a good signal through a lousy analog connection like VGA. These are nice monitors, and a nice graphics card. Shell out for the correct cables, bro.
