There is a huge difference in qualiy between VGA and DVI.
VGA is an analogue signal which degrades, DVI is digital so very little degradation in signal.
Thank you, so would i need a VGA cable with an IPS monitor?There is a huge difference in qualiy between VGA and DVI.

Have you tried another cable to connect to your computer, as i noticed only DVI and VGA ports and no hdmi ports...
worth a try....
Maybe there a driver update you need...

Maria, I work in a company that produces software and we have all manner of monitors. Our developers use twin Phillips 27" monitors that are similar to your monitor and although they are sharp and bright we find them quite poor for the following:
- Contrast is poor; blacks are grey, not black
- Off-axis viewing is a non-starter, as soon as you move to the side the colours and contrast become almost non-existant
- Colour saturation is not very good
I would strongly recommend that you swap the monitor for one that is a bit more capable. An IPS monitor is best for photos. If this is not possible, try reducing the brightness and increasing the contrast. This will not help when viewing from angles other than 'straight on', but may help reduce the effect of a 'film' across your images.

Thanks David, i'm so disappointed and what you have described is exactly what i have got, my son bought it for me and i should have done some research, thank you for putting me on to the IPS monitor i think this is going to have to go back and i will be going for an IPS after having read reviews, thank you again you have been so helpful as always.Maria, I work in a company that produces software and we have all manner of monitors.

Maria, I think the flashing display you describe is probably an exposure warning, i.e. the camera telling you it is not getting enough light to take an accurate exposure reading. If you remove the lens cap before you switch the camera on I would guess this behaviour may well stop?

David you are so clever, it is an exposure warning, i've just done what you said and put the camera under a bright light and it didn't flash at all, thank you so much.
