Hello,

So. I have access to getting a free 17 inch second monitor. I'm currently using an old G5. So, my main monitor (20 inch, planar PX191M) is using my only DVI slot. And all I have left over is the archaic ADC slot.

Anyways, I have a choice between these two monitors:

The second is a monitor/TV hybrid.

From the stats it looks like the plain monitor (first one) is the best. Do you agree? Also: I take it I need to find an ADC to VGA adapter for this thing as well...Will the quality be a huge jump from my other monitor?

Thanks.
