The DVI is preferred to enjoy the optimal performance of a flat-screen monitor. So you could potentially install two VGA plug-in monitors, or two DVI type monitors, to the one graphics card. Also included was an adapter for converting a VGA line to a DVI plug-in. And while the packing insert stipulated a DVI cable was to be included, I didn't receive one. So, if you need to switch the bios settings to onboard VGA vs PCI display (onboard VGA is NOT the default) be forewarned that there won't be a PCI signal from your graphics card until the back-up on-board VGA is enabled so you can still switch plugs and access your bios in the event of an emergency.My efforts to rebuild a computer which was the victim of a failed hard drive, were centered around the purchase of a new graphics processor unit (GPU) PCI card.
Contemporary computers tend to be very capable of processing digital video, and my monitor includes both DVI and VGA jacks. And the third interface is an actual DVI (digital video interface) jack. The OS (operating system) was also outdated, and since the Windows versions since XP have each included a support feature for multiple monitors/displays, my graphics card also featured three types of interface jacks.The one which resembles a PS/2 mouse plug is unused. Item # B0000X0VCY M/M Dual Link Digital Video Cable (Cables to Go)Note: when using Digital Video Interface, the monitor doesn't actually detect the video signal until Windows delivers the `welcome' screen. But the standard VGA (blue) jack is also present.
This DVI cable is approximately twice the thickness/gage of the VGA connector wire which was included with the new monitor.
this cable does what its supposed to do. i hooked up my laptop to a HD monitor and the picture is awesome.
Much less expensive and excellent quality. I'm using it with my MacBook Pro 13 and an Acer 22" display. Purchased this item in place of the product offered by Apple. This item just works.
I notified them that I wanted a refund. I reported to Amazon that this was the wrong cable, Amazon preceded to send me the same product again. As of now 12/19/09 Amazon has refunded my money & shipping expenses to ship it back.
1080P display works flawlessly. It works fine as described. I am satisfied with the purchase.
