    Hey Guys,

    I'm about to go out today and purchase another PC monitor
    so I can have dual monitors.

    Now on my current monitor there is a blue SVGA/VGA male to
    male lead that runs to my computer, I easily can find/know what
    that is, BUT...

    The one of the male ends doesn't go into the PC directly, instead
    it goes into a white converter of some sort. I don't have a clue what
    the is called?

    The end that goes into the computer has like little squares and a few long
    little lines.

    Anyone know what this is called?

    I think it has to be DVI.

    So the cable goes from your monitor > converter > pc? How odd...
