Digital connector adaptor or vga ?

[OPUS1]

I just got my kid an 19" LCD.
Boy they sure are ready for prime time!
My question is should I use
the digital jacks on the video card and monitor
Or just the vga connector on the card and the digital adapter on the monitor
or just use the vga connectors on both?
Thanks

Use the DVI connectors.

If the picture distorts because of a bad signal (read something about it on Tomshardware.com) you might have to go back to the D-sub (VGA) output on the card. It's a video card problem, not a monitor problem from what I've seen.

Here's the link.

So I should use a DVI adapter at each end of the cable? At the card and LCD
Or should I get a dedicated cable?

Tahnks kirbyrj that's what I should of read first!
But it doesn't say if a dedicated cable is better than a VGA cable with adapters at each end!

Shouldn't all LCDs have a DVI cable anyway?
Anyway, DVI is better, but if you can't connect DVI directly to your LCD or to your videocard, then you have no option.
It'd be rather useless to go VGA -> DVI -> VGA.
Might aswell go VGA -> VGA then.
