Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Personally I've always thought that 19" monitors aren't the best choice unless your sight isn't too good and you want everything to look abnormally large. You see, most 19" monitors use 1280 x 1024 as their resolution - the same as most 17" monitors. This means that square inch for square inch you get less pixels which is bad. On the plus side they don't cost a lot more than 17 monitors.
I appreciate that I'm not really answering your question but I'd recommend that if your pocket can cope that you look at some 20" monitors because you'll really benefit from the increase resolution to 1600 x 1200 despite the screen only being an inch larger diagonally!
Well 1024 x 768 is sub-standard but if you find the size of things on that OK / good then the 19inchers are all good.
As for the DVI / VGA, it's advisable but in most cases people would be hard pushed to tell the difference (especially if you're using a high quality VGA cable.
