You need to buy a widescreen connector because the GHZ on your monitor aren't high enough to pass the signal through a standard VGA cable.

I would suggest you buy an alienware widescreen-enabled DVI cable.

Not very nice



Yea it'll most likely work. Worst case scenario you will only have a dvi connection to your computer at which time you would need a dvi -> vga connector which can be bought for like 4$.
