I posted this on the video forum, but got no replies!

Heh, I have no experience with DVI video cards or TFT Flat Screens. So im asking for peoples experiences.

I will be ordering 10x Sony M51-D 15" TFT Monitors and 1x 18.1" M81 Sony TFT Monitor (for myself)

The video cards I will be pairing them all up with, is the Matrox G550. Which is DVI Capable.

Now, the question is..

Do they come with DVI adapators for the analogue cables?
Do they comes with DVI cables? I mean do I plug this into the DVI port to the card and the monitor?

Answers are appricated !

Cheers for ya help!

I think the monitor have DVI cables attached to them So they require DVI cards in order to show anything.

Yep!

But I want to hear experiences of people who have purchased TFT LCD (whatever u wanna call them) monitors. When you open the box, what is inside?

Daemom: After looking at Sony's site the M51 that you ordered only has a DB15 VGA connector and the included cable. Your M81 has a DB15 VGA connector and a DVI connector along with the needed cables.

nightowl, thanx. The reason for asking, is because the sales person from the re-seller says I will be getting analogue cables with converters. I was thinking this afternoon.... wft!!

Thanks for clearing that up!

I bought a NEC Multisync FP 1350x and it came with regular vga cables and a dvi cable as well.
