My one monitor has 2 inputs, one is the standard VGA and the other is a DVI-D (3 rows of 8 pins and 1 flat pin). So if I had a card with a DVI-D out I should be able to connect the PC to the monitor. I googled "DVI-D". One of the hits was Amazon and it showed many cards but they only described the outputs as DVI, not DVI-D or DVI-A. And the photos did not show the connector up close. I was just guessing that because they were cheap they were analog but I had no way of knowing for sure.
There must be monitors with DVI-A female (and only DVI-A) otherwise why have such a connector. When I ordered a VGI to DVI cable what I was sent was the VGA/DVI-A cable which is of no use to me. My PC which is several years old has only the 15 pin VGA output. If my monitor had a DVI-I input, which it doesn't, it should work with this cable, because it will work digital or analog.. My PC has the 15 pin output and the P3SVGA has that connector also. If I'm going to have only one monitor it will have to have 2 of the 15 pin inputs or one 15 pin and one DVI-A. Or I'll need to go to 2 monitors. Thanks for the advice.
