You can get an extension if one end is fixed (non-removable) to the monitor - eBay search. G

It will either be a standard VGA cable or a DVI cable (digital). Depends on what connections your graphics card has. The colour of the VGA connector is usually blue with 2 rows of pins so you can identify it that way. The DVI connector is bigger and usually white/cream with 3 rows of pins.

For the LCD, do you require a VGA or DVI cable? G

Sounds like a VGA, blue in colour with 2 rows of pins

Something like this should do. However, make sure you get the right male female combination.
