LCD uses DVi connector where as CRT uses analogue connector.
If you are going for LCD then make sure to have DVI connector on your display card.
otherwise you can purchase DVI to analgue converter port from anywhere.
In most of the caeses this converter comes bundled with graphics cards or with LCDs.

All LCD monitors can use VGA input. Even if the monitor has a DVI input, you can use the DVI to VGA connector to use it on a VGA port.
