Hello,
I have a new comp monitor that came with a VGA and a DVI cable> If you were I which would you use? Which is more powerful?

Thanks you very much

DVI is a superior display connection to VGA. DVI-D is pure digital, and at higher resolutions and refresh rates, the difference is very noticable. VGA can suffer from ringing / bluring / ghosting at higher resolutions, especially if cheap cables are used, or the cables are longer than normal. After all, VGA is an analog technology. Not only this, but VGA doesn't support HDCP, which is required for protected HD content.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Which do you like better ?
Whatever appeals to you, use it !
