You could use a standard video card with analogue output. It is in effect a DVI to Analogue converter. I'm not sure if you can find a DVI to analogue converter.


Sorry, I do not check for private messages

what would be the point of using a DVI to analog convertor, the signal would still be analog coming from the video card?

Nope. You can probably get a very similar model with digital output, but it will cost more.
If you really want the best for gaming, new crt's are better than LCD's.

Like ham30 said, I don't think you can get adapters that will convert a DVI monitor to a VGA port, and even if you can you would lose the advantage of having a DVI monitor.
There are DVI to VGA (15 pin D-sub)adapters, but they are meant for video cards that have a DVI port, to connect to a VGA monitor - the genders are opposite to what you would need.
You could get another video card with a DVI connector and use it with a DVI monitor, and have the digital advantage.

I'm planning to buy 6 19" lcd monitors and keeping my eyes on 19" lcd monitors for a while. The following 2 models have DVI.

FujiPlus FP-988D / 19" / SXGA / 1280 x 1024 / 12ms / Silver-Black / DVI / LCD Monitor with Speakers

or

HannsĀ·G HN199D / 19" / 8ms / DVI / 600:1 / SXGA / 1280x1024 / Black / LCD Monitor with Speakers

You can still get some crt's but they are being phased out.
