[Elecraft] DVI connectors with an P3SVGA

I had planned to use my one video monitor which has has both a VGA connector and DVI connector with my PC and the P3SVGA. I ordered a cable with VGA male and DVI male connectors to interface the SVGA. However, the cable I got has a DVI connector which does not match the one on the monitor. The cable has a DVI-A while monitor appears to accept either a DVI-D or DVI-I, I'm not sure which it is. I gained what little I know about DVI from the internet. It would seem the DVI-A (analog) is the only connector that will work with VGA. But I could be wrong.


A second monitor would be nice but due to available space I would prefer just one. Does anyone know enough about the DVI offer advice?  Thanks.
