I connected it using the blue video cable because there doesn't seem to be a DVI connection on my computer. I looked at the DVI cable and I don't even think I've ever seen a connection look like that. How do I use this white DVI cable? [/ QUOTE ] You must have a video card that supports DVI. There are low-end DVI video cards that aren't too expensive. In my opinion, it's worth it to upgrade for DVI (if you get a cheaper card of course). [/ QUOTE ] How expensive is not too expensive? I see them starting around $60, but I have no idea as to whether or not they are any good. I don't play any games other than poker, but I may watch a movie from time to time, and eventually want a TV tuner. Thanks

Re: 2001FP

So, my laptop has no DVI, am I screwed for this connection? I do not believe I can change my video card. No big deal really, it looks pretty good with the blue cable, and my next purchase will probably be a knew computer so I can run two of these monsters. [/ QUOTE ] what kind of laptop? look into getting a port replicator. I know for my thinkpad I do not have a DVI output on the laptop, but the port replicator does. port replicator ~= $100

Re: 2001FP
Just got my 2001FP, it looks sweet. Now I just hope that the port replicator I ordered has a DVI port, if not, well then I'll deal with VGA for now until I build a new desktop, which will probably be around the time I get my 2nd 2001FP.

Re: 2001FP

Yes I am also wondering if anyone could recommend a video card with two dvis that is not to expensive [/ QUOTE ] Do these cards even exist? I thought that most people just bought a second video card on a PCI slot for connecting a second monitor. It seems odd for a graphics card to have two DVI slots.
