    Looks like I might have both, will order it and see what it is like with the VGA, then decide exactly which different cable , if any, I go for. Reason I am not sure is that computer requires pulling completely out with cable disconnections etc, so will wait until I receive the monitor.

    It doesn't make that much difference how you connect it unless you are doing intensive graphics gaming etc..can you identify the connection?

    It will work with the VGA and VGA is still a reasonable way to connect a monitor for most applications I don't think you will notice a difference if you fork out for a DVI cable and connect it that way.

    What is blocking the page? Highly unlikely Piriform site has spyware.

    Check in Device Manager under Display Adapters.

    When I click your link Piriform page comes up, then another page overwites it:-

    Panda Cloud Antivirus Safe Search Protection

    The page has been blocked as it contains malware or exploits

    I understand that visiting the page could infect my computer.


    I click the back button, the Piriform page comes up the Panda takes over.
