So i've bought an asus 24" inch recently and I'm hooking up my pc to it however I've noticed that the HDMI port doesn't go into power saving mode on the PC..the DVI does however. My question is, if I decide to just connect my pc to the monitor via DVI instead of the DVI->HDMI connector am I losing any image quality here? Thanks.

No. DVI and HDMI both use digital signal. The most significant feature of HDMI is that it can stream audio and digital video all within one cable.
Oh yeah, and you get the fantastic HDCP DRM "feature" along with HDMI as well!

DVI supports HDCP as well. FYI.

HDMI = DVI+Audio over one connection, to simplify it more or less.
And audio, for that matter. Not that it is ever implemented that way on a display.

Monitor speakers.... eww...
You get better sound quality from a soup can and string plug into an audio jack.

Heh, QFT.
The Dell "fancy" monitor - the one with the glass, speakers, shitty TN panel, and costs $1200 - comes to mind.
