Confused

[misha]

I'm thinking of getting the Samsung 191T for my photo editting work and I was told that it has a digital input. So what does this mean?
do i need to get a graphic card with digital output?
Is there a great difference in picture quality?
Which card has digital output?

I do not play games on my PC and us it mainly for photo editting. Thank you

No need for confusion! Yes, the monitor has digital input. Some video cards have dual output...one 15 pin VGA connector which has been the standard for years and another Digital output. Most newer models of video cards from ATI or Nvidia usually have both ports for output. Does it make a difference? Some say no...I can tell the difference in clarity and precision sharpness. It is also slightly faster. Some will disagree with me, but I can tell digital hookup vs. digital. Also, remember that with your monitor hooked up via digital, you don't have control over the sharpness control on the monitor...but you don't need it...a digital signal's precision need not be sharpened.
