dvi as its digital and can have higher res
vga is analog and its inferior to dvi

dvi all the way as its a lot better than vga

And whys that?

A good choice of 19" panels are vga, and tbh i don't see any difference in screen quality over a dvi model.

in most cases it is a lot better than vga but some manufactures like LG for example make sure the vga is just as good as the dvi so that customers dont have to put up with inferior quality for not using dvi

I was once told ....... and I dont know if this is right or wrong so put the stones down NOW ! .... that you wont notice the difference until you start getting into higher resolutions ?

I was also wondering this, is it worth going out and buying a dvi cable?

in theory, DVI should offer a sharper picture since it is a pure digital > digital connection. However, modern VGA interface chips are of very high quality and often it is very hard to tell any real difference in practice. If you have the choice, then you might as well use DVI though

Think ill go buy one as i just bought a new 19' flatscreen widescreen. Might aswell get the most out of it then.

I bought an Acer 19" VGA, I would have got a DVI model if my graphics card had a DVI output. In the long run it would be a good idea to get DVI.
