Need help with video card options (DVI, TVOUT, etc)

Hi. I was looking at the Gainword Geforce4 128mb and I noticed that there where 2 options available. One that says: 1 CRT + TV out, (No DVI, no TV-In) and the other that includes all those plus VIVO, NView and two CRT display. I dont understand what all this means, could someone help me out.

1 CRT + TV Out = Can connect one Cathode Ray Tube Computer Monitor also can connect a Television with an "S" Video cable and view the computer screen on the TV

No DVI = Cannot connect a Flat Panel LED type monitor without a converter plug.

NView - Nvidia's Multiple display software.
No TV in = Cannot watch Television on the computer monitor

VIVO - Video In and Video Out on the Card

Not really correct. Nearly every TFT has VGA, so you can connect it to every video card. Many TFTs are hybrid, they have both VGA and DVI. DVI provides a better picture than VGA, therefore a TFT is best connected to DVI (if a TFT has no DVI, well, then you have to connect it to VGA).
If the TFT has DVI-D only (there are), then there is no chance to connect it to a VGA port. There is no such adapter.
Only adapter is vice versa. Video card with DVI-I, and TFT with VGA only. There is an adapter from DVI-I to VGA.
