I've bought a new monitor for my PC - it has a DVI cable and an analogue
cable, does it make any difference which cable I use?

Thanks for any responses )

DVI for me every time, for the analogue cable the video card has to turn the
original digital signal into analogue then that gets turned back into
digital in the monitor, for digital there's no loss in signal quality from
the conversions. Also you don't need to adjust the picture on DVI like you
do on analogue.
