hey,i think your wrong,cause my friend has a flat screen,flat panel,and he has like 3 cords,going 2 everything,

and i don't have the back plug-in he does,my computer is crappy custom,and his computer is brand new

Yes, I also think it will connect to your existing video card, based on the specs I see at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16889205001.  I believe this info: [highlight]Input Video Compatibility: PC Input: Analog RGB[/highlight], specifically, Analog RGB, indicates it uses a standard VGA connector.

If you're unsure, you need to verify whether the monitor uses a VGA connector or a DVI connector.  Your video card works with VGA, not DVI.

hey, thanks,but that is not my new monitor

im getting it used

New or used is irrelevant.  It's the specific model and the specifications for it that matter.

ok,my new monitor is a

Megavision 17"  MV173

its flat screen,flat panel,

Look, you need to educate yourself a bit on this.  Here's one Google find from a search on VGA vs. DVI:

LCD connections: analog vs. digital

Again, get the exact specs on that monitor.  VGA or DVI?  The info in your last post does not answer the question.  I believe the info I posted earlier does.

He could take his own advise and call the Geek Squad. They will be happy to plug it in for him.
