I finally buy an ASUS V8440 TD DVI, and I connect it to the monitor. The graphic is superb, much better in 2d then my previous Gigabyte Geforce3, infact the 2d result more crisp and the color are more saturated. The black in the four angles now run black and the DVD looks better.
I try also some games, like Aquanox, RTCW, Fifa 2002, Colin Mcrae Rally 2, MotoGP, Comanche 4, Unreal tournament 2003, etc.. . Well, when i see those games run, i just say: PERFECT!! . No ghosting, No blurring, nothing of strange effect. I just set the VGA (with the ASUS 29.80 drivers) to v-sinc ON and install Viewsonic driver, and all the games run PERFECT. I'm now very very happy, all games runs better, faster and i haven't any kind of problem and also windows, like i sayd before, looks better.
In my experience this Monitor doesn't looks good with Geforce3 and Radeon 8500 or 7500 (because ATI itself say that this monitor doesn't works correctly, with dvi, with ATI radeon 8500 and 7500, but, if it works, doesn't looks good, therefore DON'T buy radeon for this monitor).
Finally, for people that have VG191, i recommend to buy a Geforce4 (better if you buy an ASUS or Gainward), or try the new radeon 9700 (DON'T buy old radeon card)and i'm sure that this video card with this monitor doesn't disappoint you anymore.
Bye.

I'm the one that have problem with Gigabyte Geforce3 and VG191. But now, with my new ASUS V8440, i have not problems at all and now windows looks much better and also the games runs better (the quality of this Geforce4 is SUPERB!!).
I don't know why VG191 have problem with Geforce3 and, in some computer configuration, with Radeon 8500. But if someone will buy a VG191, buy also a Geforce4, because it works great with this monitor.

I have the VG191B running on Radeon 7500 in DVI mode and it works fine. I don't see any problems on it.
