DVI or Analog
I have a NVIDIA Geforce 6100 graphics card with PCI Express. I recently purchased an LCD monitor which has both the Analog and DVI input slots. My problem is I only have the Analog slot on the back of my computer.
My question, Is there any way with a cable or adapter, that I can convert my signal to DVI without purchasing a new video card? I have read if I use a VGA to DVI cable, I'm still only getting the analog signal.
Thanks for any input.
Hi,
I have read that with the new lcd's you have to be an expert to tell the difference between DVI and analog, before bying the 2405 for a short time i had a 19" lcd and bought a DVI cable for it and did not see any difference, maybe it's because i have old eyes.

Thanks for the replies. It is as I thought, update the graphics card if I want to get the full benefit of the digital monitor.- Your comment of newer monitors that are analog are better today, and some not seeing a difference is true to some degree. Depending on your eyes, you may or may not see a difference. And yes, analog has come a long way in viewing improvement.

I agree with beau. I have two new 2001FP's on my XPS400. I tried DVI, and saw absolutely no difference vs. VGA.
