[QUOTE="xstep, post: 703805, member: 11647"] Get the appropriate DVI cable. The quality will be much better than VGA. No, you do [B]not[/B] need a dedicated video card. You will be able use the external monitor as an extended (second) desktop or to mirror your Macbook display. Unless the resolutions are identical, don't use mirroring. P.S. I'm assuming all Macbooks have the display capabilities of the current model. If yours is older, double check the specs. [/QUOTE]
