That's interesting. I've never tested DVI vs VGA on an LCD screen,
but from what I've read newer LCDs do a very good job of converting
analog back to digital. Do you have a link describing showing the
differences between DVI and VGA?
My video card only has DVI outputs, but my monitor--Dell 2007WFP--has
multiple inputs. I've just tried using DVI->DVI and DVI->dsub (using
a cord with DVI on one end and dsub on the other), and I briefly,
can't tell a difference (running at iirc 1680x1050).
I've always heard that DVI became essential for larger LCDs, but
can't tell much of a difference here. Both look good.
It's also possible games / graphic / color clarity / whatever is
taking a hit that I haven't noticed in just a few minutes.
