You should try both. I got the best picture with VGA, but I did not have 2 DVI's, just 1 DVI and 1 VGA from the graphics card.

TV's treat the VGA input differently, usually accepting 1024x768, and they disable some of the scaling which makes text look so bad. So on some sets, you'll get a better picture with VGA than with...

Is there a reason you run DVI To VGA on the 32" TV? I'm just wondering if it would be better to run DVI to HDMI? Thanks again!
