1) Provide the monitor make and model number. E.g. Acer MX123 or Asus 97GX
On the front it says LG FLATRON E2341.
On the back, it says LG Flatron E2341V-BN, model E2341V, December 2011.
The computer has blue (vga), white (dvi), and dark (hdmi).
The monitor also has a headphone jack but I don't see speakers anywhere.
I don't see a jack for sound input to the monitor.
Where does it get the sound for the headphone from?
2) If you provide the information about the driving video card itself,
I might attempt to use GPU-Z from Techspot.
Do you mean techspot or techpowerup?

I couldn't get the techspot to download so I used techpowerup.
NVIDIA GeForce 201
Driver version 9.18.13.4174 (NVIDIA 341.74)
That's a 1920x1080 monitor, and either HDMI or DVI would be sufficient.
DVI single lane works to 1920x1200 @ 60Hz CRTRB (reduced blanking), so
covers 1920x1080 OK.
At that resolution, VGA would still work, but might be slightly
less good than the digital ones.
You can then decide, which cable is cheaper, between DVI and HDMI,
as electrically they could work with a single lane.

Yes, this is probably what I was thinking about.

It's probably a Geforce 210. And you're lucky to get this from
the VGA perspective, as in 2018, VGA kinda disappeared from
video card faceplates. In 2019, people will be buying active
adapters, to go from HDMI to VGA or DisplayPort to VGA. Your
card is still fully functional, by the looks of it. But VGA is
likely a better choice at more pedestrian resolutions like
1600x1200. Pushing it all the way to 2048 would be kinda nutty
and wouldn't look too good. The two digital standards tend
to keep their quality (with short cable, good quality cable).

1 x VGA 2048x1536
1 x DL-DVI-I Dual Link DVI 2560x1600 or
VGA via passive adapter at 2048x1536.
1 x HDMI (1.3A claimed by one source...)
You'll notice as well, that NVidia absolutely refuses to tell
us what HDMI standards version that implements. It has to do
1920x1080 at least. 1920x1080 relies on an HDMI clock of 165MHz,
same as DVI. But later standards of HDMI have faster clocks,
like 330MHz, and that's where the higher resolutions come from.
Knowing a card has DVI and the DVI does 165MHz (its final limit),
we know the HDMI has to be at least that good.

The review here seems to be claiming it is HDMI 1.3a, and has
8 channel LPCM audio over HDMI capability. I'm not sure that
people in the field were seeing this, but this is the
"chartware" from NVidia. For some reason, the HDMI version
is suppressed in adverts. Like, maybe it's broken or something.
You don't suppress a spec like that, unless you're ashamed of
something.

And HDMI 1.3a here, has a clock of 330MHz. That's the "transportation
equivalent" of dual-link DVI. Two DVI in parallel at 165MHz, is the
same as the one lane on HDMI running at 330MHz. Which means in theory,
2560x1600 @ 60Hz should be in reach.
With that out of the way, you can use either the DVI or HDMI.
And because the video card connector is DVI-I, there should
not be a cabling problem. Some later cards, like a 2018 card
stripped of all VGA, the connector on the video card end
is DVI-D and the VGA blade slots are filled in with plastic.
If using the DVI cable, you want to verify both ends,
whether they're DVI-D or DVI-I, look at the cable carefully
to ensure there isn't a conflict. I don't expect a problem,
but sometimes "stuff happens". The video card end on your
card, appears to support "any cable".

The monitor end looks DVI-D. DVI-D on both ends should work.
