“Does this monitor work with a vista? I have a vista computer it's a few years old and i just bought this monitor cause mine was getting worn out. However it doesnt seem to be working very well. Everything is super slow and i have trouble playing my games on it. i have to have my game settings on low and it still doesnt play right. Theres also a extra cord on the monitor i've never seen before. Theres the power cord, a blue one, and a white one. Whats the white one? I dont have any place to plug it in at on my computer. Is this why i'm having so much trouble? Is my computer to old?”

This monitor will work with any operating system, so it works fine with Vista as well. The white cable is a DVI cable and can be used to connect to computers that have DVI ports. The fact that you're using the blue cable (VGA) doesn't matter and will work just as well as DVI. It sounds like the issues you are having are related to your computer. Especially if it's an older computer, you will have issues playing newer titled games. I suggest having someone look at your computer and see if anything can be done to speed up its processing and possibly upgrading the computer/components.

It is better than the blue, but not as good as HDMI, which the monitor also has a port for, but it does not come with an HDMI cord. You need a video card (GPU) in order to connect DVI and HDMI unless you have a top notch motherboard that has those connections. I have a custom built computer and use an AMD Radeon HD 6850 video card that I connect to so I get amazing picture. I do have windows 7, but vista is not the reason you are having poor image quality. It is simply your computer components cant handle the high quality monitor.
