Lonnie: the Xerox comes with a DVI cable.  There is a converter plug for 
use with VGA.
I've tried the Xerox with both DVI and VGA and, in text at least, I 
detect no difference.

Since you say the glass screen has nothing to do with the display 
quality, then there are other attributes.
I don't think I fell for a marketing ploy; I found the Xerox to be more 
to my liking than any other of the various brands on display.  The base 
is robust and steady, and of course it is easier to clean a glass 
surface.  (My dogs have a habit of rearing up on my keyboard and licking 
the monitor screen. :-)  )
