I know dvi is suppose to be better but does it matter when you have a CRT monitor that only has a vga cable connected to a video card with a DVI and VGA option. Should I use the converter or just use the VGA spot on the video card?

So this wont damage my monitor?

well it displays properly and when i press the info button on my monitor it says its at that resolution.. hmmm weird

Is it ok to run my 22" gateway at 1920 x 1080 when using the vga cable for xbox 360? I thought the maximim resolution was 1680 x 1050. Will this hurt my monitor? thanks

Im thinking about switching my gateway 22" with this... Why is it cheaper but has better specs? And would I be able to tell the difference between 5ms and 2ms. I only will be using it for gaming Gears of War/ WOW/ and CS source. Thanks

I'm thinking about taking my gateway 22" back and getting the samsung 226BW. Will I be able to see a clear difference in the 5ms to 2ms response time; i am an avid gamer. And overall is the samsung a better screen or should I just keep my gateway? I have until tommorow to make this decision...

32" LCD TV & PC/HDTV Monitor http://microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0227458 Is this a good monitor for gaming? Pretty cheap...

I have heard one of the best LCDs for hardcore gaming is the BenQ FP93GX. I found a place that has them for $ 220 but they have been used for like 4-5 hours at the cyber athlete professional league. So if you don't mind a slightly used monitor that has a low response time then...

I have the FPD2275W Gateway 22" monitor and I am thinking about returning it because I have had several issues with the monitor. Do you think that the sceptre 22" is just as good of a monitor? I might order one. Thanks

Alright, for some reason I get fuzzy lines around the edges of my 22" gateway monitor after alt tabbing back into World of Warcraft. I can fix this sometimes by just alt tabbing a lot and finally it will go back to normal. I have 2 x x1950pros and it only happens when crossfire is enabled...

Rofl... By the way this is the DVI cable I bought. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7323087&st=dvi+cable&type=product&id=1118844765332

Thanks everyone... and I would like to try the cable before switching out a power supply. What is the best DVI cable around?

Why would a Power Supply affect some little dots on the monitor? Couldn't it just be a faulty cord or something?

Yes I am running the game at native resolution and you can even see the dots while standing still / in menus. The dots look similar to that photo and they twinkle on and off. CPU - AMD FX-57 2.8GHz 1MB L2 Cache CPU Cooling - Thermaltake Blue Orb II Motherboard - Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe Memory -...

I have the FPD2275W 22" Gateway. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8043253&type=product&id=1158104010371 It has 5ms response time and 1680 x 1050 resolution. Should I just use the VGA cable or just learn to deal with the dots if it is normal for my monitor? Thanks
