DVI is digital, and the connector is white in color, and the blue connector is analog. We don't know what video card you have nor what monitor you have. Vital information not listed in your post. Digital is clearer for most, and analog is the basic, but still provides a good viewing experience.

If you want a clearer picture, than hook up the dvi cable with the two white ends. One from the monitor, and the other end to the back or your computer where you have the video card.

If you don't have a white dvi connector on the video card, than you are only going to get analog, and just connect the cable with the blue end connector from the monitor and the other end to the video card.
