DVI cable?

Anyone willing to part with one?

Picked up a steal of a deal from BB the other night (Westinghouse 22in - L2210NW), but it only came with a VGA cable.

This is my first LCD monitor, so I don't have any DVI cables available. . .

So. . .I come to anandtech to seek guidance and help.

Thanks!
 
just be sure to have a peek at the dvi plug on the monitor and be sure not to get the cable with the 4 pins aroung the spade pin (dual link?) if your monitor doesn't have those pin sockets...

i got lucky that one of the other monitors i have was able to use the cable i got...

it is kind of lame that westies don't come with a dvi cable...

No, the one you're referring to is a DVI-I plug. I'd highly doubt his new display would have such a port. Its more common on video cards that utilize dvi-i to vga adapters for a second analogy display.

The cable I linked to is correct.
