AFAIK it is analogue, but still should look great

if you want digital you would have to use a DVI connecter

Yes i have a DVI connecter in the back of my laptop , so the other end fits into the PC Sub at back of LCD , that will give my digital ?

No it will not. DSub/PC/VGA whatever you want to call it is an analogue signal. DVI-D > DVI-D is a digital signal. DVI-A > VGA is not.
