Hey there,

Just bought a Viewsonic VX710 (after returning the VA720 due to it not working with the analog convertor w/ my All-In-Wonder Radeon 7500). I assumed (no comment please) that it would come with both analog and digital cables. Alas, no, just the analog cable. Strangely enough though it works fine w/ the aforementioned video card. My question is, is it worth the cost of getting the DVI cable, and are there any recommendations on a good one? The only one I've seen is a Belkin 10' cable at BB for $50... Thanks!

Update on this issue... apparently whenever I boot the computer with the video out plugged in and it senses the TV as another 'monitor', my LCD gets screwed up and won't go into the right resolution. I doubt the DVI cable would help (although I'd still like the digital signal). Has anyone run into this problem before, and how did you solve it? I'm running WinXP Pro SP1 on a Dell PowerEdge 400SC. The card is an ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon 7500 and I'm currently using the DVI-to-analog signal convertor that came with it to use the VX710 Viewsonic 17" LCD. Thanks!!
