I don't know what those cables are, but say hello to my new 19" LG Flatron W1952TQ, running at a modest 1440x900 because I don't want eyebleeds.
What the fuck are refresh rates? Will 75hz cause eyebleeds?
Okay, just a little tip about DVI. The
connectors on your monitor come in two flavors.
When you use the blue one (VGA), you probably have to annoyingly center your screen every time you change resolution. Typically this happens when you load a game that runs in a resolution that doesn't match your desktop. DVI does not have to do this.
The white one is a DVI-D connector. (There are several types of
DVI connector.) Edit: Be careful, some of these connectors do not play well with other DVI plugs.
If on the back of your computer, your videocard only has a VGA connector, don't worry. Carry on as normal. If you have a DVI connector, and you're using a DVI to VGA adapter, smack yourself in the face for me, because you are robbing yourself of what
many consider a cleaner, sharper picture.
More edit: Leave your refresh rate at whatever the factory default is for an LCD. Unless you work with a lot of video editing, I don't think it will be of concern for you.
