which cable to use lcd dvi-d at DVinfo.net

I just bought a LG lcd 20.1'' monitor in which has a dvi-d connection. My graphics card has a dvi-i connector. Can someone tell me or direct me to the correct cable for this set-up. Thanks

It should be a normal DVI cable.

DVI-I I believe (might be wrong here) that the video card can either output a DVI or VGA signal. If you stick a normal DVI-VGA adapter there, you can have that port send out a VGA signal.

DVI-D ports only do DVI out. Not both like DVI-I.
