I recently bought a HYUNDAI L90D+ from newegg and thought it came with a dvi cable (even the fuji monitor comes with one, big disappointment). So I ordered a DVI cable off ebay but when I got it I saw it was an 18pin, not the 24pin which the monitor takes. Is it safe to still use the 18pin cable for long-term use? Seems to work fine, but I have a feeling it isn't good for the monitor. Anyways heres some comparison shots of the cables:

Interesting, then would the 24pin give better visuals? (I doubt if I would notice anyways)

No the extra pins are for a DUAL DVI connection, the extra bandwidth would be need to run say, a 37 inch LCD or such......
