question about monitor rgb molex wires that attaches to monitor

I am goin to ask a dumb question. what is the brown, white and bare wire that goes to the rgb molex that hooks up to monitor. Im gussing one is the sync wire, one is ground but what is the other one. If you need a picture i can take one tonight.

thanks in advance
 
RGB signal has Ground, Sync (usually composite), plus 3 colors Red, Green, Blue.

What you're describing sounds like a power connector, with earth ground.

Picture?
 
I have never seen a bare wire going to the chassis, but if you have three wires the sync is likely separated. So you have vertical sync, horizontal sync, and ground. I have also seen the composite sync split into two wires further back in the harness resulting in composite sync, composite sync, and ground.
 
here is a picture of the molex that is going into chasis

I am wanting to know what the brown, white, black, and bare wire around black(or is it ground with the other black)(if ground why 2 ground wires) are. I know they are one of ground, sync, and blue is my guess.. the red and green I am assuming is the red and green inputs right. what are the other ones..

thanks in advance

The white wire is your sync. The black wire is the ground. The bare wire is a shield that was included as part of the multistranded wire and it is usually either left unterminated or terminated to ground as in your pic.
