best monitor connection option to CRT...

[Nevyn522]

So I know my best bet would be DVI-LCD... but I don't have an LCD.

I do have a new CRT with both standard VGA and BNC connections, though. So... I'm wondering what the best quality connection I could get is.

My video card has both VGA-out and DVI-out -- and TV out, but I doubt that would help me. I have the DVI-VGA converter that came with the board.

My new monitor has VGA-in and BNC connectors.

What would give me the highest quality display? Hooking up a VGA-BNC converter? Hooking that up to the DVI-VGA converter?

I'm just not sure which of the two (DVI or VGA) would give me better quality output, and which input would be better -- and how much image quality would be hurt by the conversion.

Thanks!

There is no conversion, the DVI>VGA adaptor just makes use of the analog pins on the DVI connector, BNC cables MAY give slightly better IQ at higher resolutions (no real difference at 1600X1200 on my rig). I use the BNC connectors for my monitor, so that I can just plug a rig I'm working on into the VGA port to save space on my desktop. My AIW only has DVI so my connection is DVI>VGA connector>VGA X BNC cable> Monitor.
