DVI gives a better image. The signal is transmitted digitally from the graphics card to the monitor with DVI, while with D-Sub the signal is analog.
If the price difference isn't much, get the monitor with DVI.

D-sub is a analog signal .......DVI is better so get a DVI model......D-sub is mainly used for CRT monitors....MAKE sure ur graphics card has a DVI output..
