Agg. Primes' topic about the monitor problem has got me thinkin'.
I am going to be in the market for a new LCD monitor/Tv in the next couple months and I have a uestion about the connector(s).

My video card has both D-SUB and DVI copnnectors. Does it, or will it, make any difference which configuration I go with? From my understanding DVI is "Digital Video" while D-SUB is analog. If that's the case then I most certainly want to go with the Dvi.. right?

Btw.. if it makes any difference in the decision. I play games and send email. No video editing, not digital camera BS.. just games

So don't buy an LCD monitor unless it is equipped with DVI connectors?

I think all new LCD monitors are digital now, don;t get an analog LCD monitor as the refresh rates are much slower and your framerate will be horrible in games.

Yeah, its digital.. That is the way to go... Analog is old school...
