Monitors receive video (picture) signals from a PC via either aVGA (or S-VGA) cable or a DVI cable. VGA stands for Video GraphicsArray. VGA cables drive analog monitors, which could be the olderCRT monitors or newer flat-panel displays. The VGA cable at themonitor side is often hard-wired in. At the end that will plug intothe PC is a male, 15-pin 'D-sub' plug. The pins are in 3 rows of 5.S-VGA is Super VGA, the current, extended version of the originalVGA. VGA cables usally have black or blue connectors. DVI isDigital Visual Interface, a digital connection standard forcomputers and projectors. It can carry an uncompressed digitalvideo signal, and it can actually carry an analog signal at thesame time. The DVI cable usually has two male ends, which plug intoidentical sockets on the PC and the monitor. These plugs come invarious pin configurations for different purposes but can berecognized by their two different sections: a tab, possiblysurrounded by 4 pins, at one end, and the larger part with an 8 x 3pin pattern, which may be only partially filled. DVI cables oftenhave white connectors. Some monitors can have additionalconnections to the PC for other reasons. * Some monitors, flatpanels in particular, offer integrated USB ports, which can be usedfor any USB device but which are most often used for aUSB-connected keboard, mouse, or flash drive. Connecting a USBcable from this monitor to the PC extends the USB interface to themonitor. * If a monitor has built-in or attached speakers, a wirefrom the monitor (or its speakers) will connect to the PC's speakerport (an eighth-inch socket). You also need an A/C power cord, fromthe monitor to the wall power outlet.
Note: Early computers used older graphics standards called CGAand EGA. But just about any PC made since 1990 will connect to itsmonitor via S-VGA or DVI. Some PCs come with both ports and can useeither monitor or even both at once.

As a part of this technological era, you must be familiar with the computer, especially the desktop computer. This computer was very popular before the invention of laptops. When you use desktop computer, you need to replace your CRT monitor with the LCD one. While replacing the monitor, you would realize that monitor cable plays an important role in connecting the monitor and CPU. Even for your TV set, you would need this cable to connect your TV and the video player. Owing to the development of gadgets and computers, you will find different types of this cable in the market. Computer monitor Cables include HDMI connector, VGA cable, USB cable, and many other similar cables.
USB Cable: USB cables are commonly used to connect the computer with other devices like digital cameras, cell phones, and so on. However this cable can also be used to connect a computer with the secondary display. However, it is advisable not to connect the CPU with the main monitor using USB. This is because the resolution of the USB cable is limited (1024x768). Besides that, such cables are also used to replace a laptop screen if you want to use another display or when your laptop display is broken or dead.
HD 15 Monitor Cable: HD 15 cable is the most common connector for monitor. Commonly, people know that this cable is the standard VGA cable and it is easily recognizable being blue in colour. It works by communicating the image data to the monitor processor directly. This cable is commonly used in many devices, but usually for technology of desktop computer and other devices that are popular in the same area. However, this VGA cable has a limited resolution feature. It only supports 640x480 resolution. As a result, it cannot support the newest devices and gadgets that require greater resolution.
DVI Cables: This type of cable is more complete since it can transfer both digital and analog video data. This is the most common monitor cable used today for connecting digital monitor since it supports up to 1920x1200 image resolution and even more. It also supports 2560x1600 video resolutions. When used in LCD monitor, it can considerably reduce the digital noise. At one glance, it looks quite similar to VGA cable. The only difference being that its flat pins are comparatively longer than that of the VGA cable.
HDMI Cable: HDMI monitor cable is the most popular cable for monitors today since it is compatible with many devices like home theatre or LCD television. However, now you would find that all the computers and gadgets are featured with the HDMI port. It means the current computers can be connected with the LCD Television or your LCD TV can be used as the computer monitor.
What kind of cable/connector is this? It looks like an HDMI connector, with very similar pins, but it has a slanted edge on only one side and the other side is square.

Computer monitors grab their video signals from the video circuitry in your computer, so you can tell what type of monitor you need by looking at your computer’s video port — the little connector on the back of your computer where you plug in the monitor’s cable.
1Determine what video port (or ports) are on your computer.
Fortunately, many computers come with several video ports, so they’re compatible with several types of monitors. You may have an analog (VGA), digital (DVI), or High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) connection.
2Figure out what features you need (or want) and how much you’re willing to spend.
Smaller monitors are cheaper; larger monitors are more expensive. You can choose between LCD monitors (including widescreen monitors) and HDTV sets. (You can also use an old-style CRT TV, but their low resolution can barely display an icon — don’t bother.)
3If you have a desktop computer (rather than a laptop), shut down Windows, turn off your computer, and unplug and remove your old monitor.
Unplug your old monitor’s power cord from the wall before you unplug the monitor’s video cable from its little port on the back of your computer’s case.
4Remove the old monitor from your desktop.
Don’t throw your old monitor into the trash because many monitors contain noxious chemicals.
5Remove the new monitor from the box, place the monitor on your desk, and push the plug on the end of its cable into your computer’s video port on the back of your computer.
The cable should fit into only one port. If the cable doesn’t fit right, you’re either trying to plug it into the wrong port, or your monitor isn’t compatible with your computer.
6Plug the cable’s other end into your monitor’s matching port, and plug the monitor’s power cord into the wall or a power strip.
This port can be DVI, VGA, or HDMI.
7Turn on your monitor and then turn on your computer.
You should be able to see words on the screen as the computer spews its opening remarks.
8If you bought a fancy monitor with speakers, cameras, or other goodies, plug the cords from the monitor’s speakers or camera into their spots in the back of your computer.
If Windows doesn’t recognize your new monitor’s special features, you probably have to install the drivers that came on the CD that came with the monitor.
