I have also just noticed that my graphics card does infact have a DVI connection so now I`m wondering whether I should grab a cable and use that instead. Will there be much difference in picture quality? Also after having a quick browse the cable I need seems to be very expensive. How much should I be paying for a DVI-D (I think...) cable. Are there any cheap options? Shame I didn`t get one free :(


At first I didn't think DVI was that big a deal (after all, VGA had always been good enough for the many years prior, right?) but after seeing a dual-screen setup run side-by-side on VGA + DVI, I can definitely attest that there is a major difference, especially at the higher resoutions.

I'm running DVI myself now, and there's no way I'm going back to VGa...
