When you use the VGA cable the LCD is connected to the Mac via an A2D 
converter and mimics an analog multi-sync monitor. So the Mac;s System 
Preferences present you with a set of VGA options. Whan conncted via DVI 
the Mac knows exactly what you have, there is no A2D conversion, and you 
get the correct options for the LCD.
