The instructions sheet says you have to connect the monitor to the computer throught either the cable with the blue terminal or the white terminal. It also says to connect the USB cable.
The pictures show something different.
When I connected the cable with the blue terminal and the USB cable, the computer displayed an error.
Then I connected the cable with the white terminal and the USB cable, then the monitor and computer worked fine.
Please tell me which option below is better:
1.- Cable with white terminal and USB cable.
2.- Cable with white terminal only.
3.- Cable with blue terminal and USB cable.
4.- Cable with blue terminal only.
What is that USB cable for?

Okay first lets seperate the USB from the blue and white cables. The blue and white cables are to get the picture. The blue is VGA and the white is DVI. If you are able to connect it though the DVI (white) cable, then do so because it is better quality that the VGA (blue). Now as for the USB cable, I am guessing you have USB ports located on your Monitor, so you need to plug the USB cable into the computer so you can use the ports on the monitor. This step is purely optional and only necessary if you want to use the ports on the computer.
I am not sure why the last guy said what he said, DVI is digital while VGA is analog, and I thought almost everyone knew that digital was better than analog.

Never seen it have both. If you were gettin an error with the USB cable it was probably because you need to install the drivers. you should get a found new hardware wizard. Pop in the cd that came with the computer. If your monitor has anything extra on it, such as a built in webcam then the USB Cable is for that. Otherwise just plug in the blue cable as that is a normal VGA connection. The white cable I'm thinking is a DVI cable which is for HD stuff and you probably don't need to worry about that unless you are using it connected to a HD Cable box.
In short use the blue cable.
