YOUR BASKET
1 x Asus VS228NE 22" Widescreen LED Multimedia Monitor - Black £89.99
1 x Asus VS228DE 22" Widescreen LED Multimedia Monitor - Black £74.99
Total : £164.98 (includes shipping : ).

As far as I can see these two are the same except one has DVI and VGA and the other only has VGA, do you think it is worth the extra for the DVI ?

DVI produces a much sharper clearer digital picture so yes its worth it & you can also use GPU scaling if the picture does not 1:1 match the 16:9 aspect ratio.

As above, yes it is. Don't get one with VGA only, it's a waste of money.

Surely it depends on his mobo/GPU?

My family's home computer doesn't even have a DVI output!

It will be being used with a 750ti, so the DVI one it is, I thought it was a good idea but just wanted to get some others opinions.

cheers.

I genuinely didn't think they even made VGA-only monitors any more. Crazy.
