DVI or analogue?

I have both settings on my monitor, which should I be using and why is one better than the other?

Thanks

I find the VGA connector on a monitor with DVI a bit random to wether its any good or not. I have 2x Dell 2007WFP's, and used to have one on DVI and the other on VGA - I couldn't really notice much difference in quality, however DVI might have been slightly more crisp (it can also depend on your graphics cards VGA connector too).

Personally, I would use the DVI option if you have it. Having VGA as an extra source is handy if you want to plug and xbox or another PC in to it.

So the DVI should be better? Thanks

With DVI connected to your Nvidia card, you can enable 1:1 scaling so that if you are forced to run at a resolution below your native, it will not appear stretched like it normally would, instead you get a smaller screen.

DVI should be better, yes use it where you can
