two monitors

Do you have both monitors connected by DVI/HDMI cables ? What are the connectors on video card like ? It is purely HW issue.

Please can someone tell me how I can get both monitors to be digital instead of one being analog and the other being digital...TIA...

I think all you are seeing are the connections on your monitor. One is VGA and one is DVI. Just buy an adapter to convert to whatever you have on your video card. If you have two DIV outputs and cables, just buy a VGA to DVI converter.

Like this one. Just make sure you buy the one that matches up your male to female or visa-versa.

Amazon.com: StarTech DVI to VGA Cable Adapter, M/F (DVIVGAMF): Electronics

This is going to sound like nit picking but the electronic technician in me makes me want to point this out. Your link is to an adapter, not a converter. There are no electronics in the adapter, just wires to redirect pins on one end to the appropriate pins at the other end. For that to work it has to be a DVI-I output jack. If its DVI-D (digital only) on the video card, it won't work. Just a for you information post.

Actually, without knowing which monitors and GPU are exactly, there's no way of knowing for sure. If there were no adapters or converters at this setup than they are digital for sure.

Yes, I agree. :thumb: I guess that was my point. :)

Thanks why I said 'I think'. But even my oldest LCD monitor has two inputs, one with the old connection and one with a digital. Since the 9800 GT has 2 digitals I've used just a simple adapter to connect on of the outputs to the old ACER monitor. It has 1 x VGA - 15 pin HD D-Sub (HD-15) connections.

But like you guys say, we'll never know unless he gives us his specs.

Don't you just hate such half descriptions that don't actually describe anything ?

Just use two monitors that are the same brand... or just stop assuming your monitor is analog
