DVI-D, especially for LCDs. VGA requires converting the digital video card output into analog then back into digital for the display. DVI-D is digital all the way through.


CRTs require an analog input so the difference won't be as dramatic, but keep the signal digital as long as possible does help. There weren't many DVI-D CRTs though.
