Macbook...DVI Output? VGA Output? External Mon?

DVI is superiour to VGA.

DVI is a purely digital signal, thus there is zero loss of detail, whereas VGA is an analog signal, and thus can lose information along the way.

 

dvi is the long white one and vga is the small blue one and dvi gives better quality than vga but vga is more commonly used than dvi

 

You going to need one of These (DVI, VGA) to run it to. Assuming its a New Alum Macbook. Picked one up today from the Apple store and it works great! VGA at least.

Edit: Did some research and your display uses DVI so you will get this one for the Alum MacBook.

 

does a vga adapter work on top of apples dvi connector; I have 2 that came with my graphics card.

 

Unfortunately no. Apple has been a bitch once again and the DVI adapter only carries the digital component, not the digital+analog. So if you want DVI and VGA, you need to get an adapter for each.

 

I haven't seen an extension yet, you might get a longer cord from your monitor/TV to the DVI-Adapter...
