VGA? Yes. VGA is analog.

And I just learned there are several kinds of dvi - DVI-D, DVI-I, DVI-A, etc. Which should I buy?[/QUOTE]

DVI-D is digital (best) compatible with HDMI (via adapter) and DVI-D/DVI-I
DVI-A is analog (okay) compatible with VGA (via adapter) and DVI-A/DVI-I
DVI-I is digital and analog (depends) compatible with HDMI (adapter), DVI-D, DVI-I, DVI-A, and VGA (via adapter).


If the monitor has speakers: HDMI
If the monitor does not have speakers: DVI-D
