Just purchased the Dell 24 inch display for my homebuild PC running a Radeon x800 Pro AGP card. Both systems support both DVI and VGA cables. Which cable is better? What is the point of DVI? The documentation is very poor on this, as with most things. VGA works right now (computer still in the Windows XP install phase) but when I connect with the DVI cables I don't get anything.
Should I be using the DVI cables or the VGA cables?
What are the advantages of both?
How can I get the DVI cables to work and will they work with all programs?
Thanks,
Kevin
