| 1126306 | 2010-08-10 08:09:00 | My new 'puter has arrived. I chose not to get a new monitor at this stage, but of course now the 'puter is here, I find the old monitor has a VGA connection (both ends of the cable) and the new 'puter has two DVI connections! I am asking if that now means I will need to go ahead and get a new monitor or is there an adaptor I can buy? Suggestions/comments would be gratefully received.:) |

| 1126311 | 2010-08-10 21:19:00 | some video cards should come with a vga converter thingy. at least the 2 PCI-X did for me. initially you don't notice that much, after a while and you go back to VGA, you DO notice the difference. it's almost like going from film to digital photog. meaning the finegrain low ISO stuff. *almost*, IMO a bit like saying digital ISO 400 vs film ISO 100 (consumer film like Kodak Gold / Fuji Superia). |
