I recently purchased a NEC MultiSync 5FG monitor. The monitor can be driven 
through a standard VGA cable (it comes with a nifty PC or Mac cable) or 
through a cable which terminates in BNC connectors. 

Two questions:
1.  What advantages would running the monitor with the BNC type cables
    offer over the standard VGA type cables?

2.  If there are advantages to the BNC cables, where could one get a
    VGA card --> BNC connector cable at a reasonable price?
