The DVI connector provides a high-speed digital interconnection between the computer and its display device. To connect a LCD monitor, simply plug your monitor cable into the DVI connector on the VGA card, and make sure that the other end of the cable is properly connected to your monitor. (refer to your monitor manual for more information.)
