If I want to get DVI input on a 17" 12ms LCD, it takes a little over $100 to get it. Is it worth it to get DVI over standard analog input?

All I'm going to do is game and power browse =D

Thanks
 
Depends on the monitor, some sony's are vga only but look much better than other lcds with dvi. As far as games or whatever, the connection won't change the response time.

If the monitor is vga only go look at in a store if possible, as it would have to be hooked up that way.
 
In terms of image sharpness and quality, DVI >>>> vga, without question. I've compared them side by side and the difference is striking. After DVI, vga seems blurry and dull.

I'll agree with my fellow Nattian .. :) .. I run mine in DVI it's alot sharper on my screen
 
Speaking of fellow Nattians, how did you get "Secret Agent Man" as your title?

Think Kyle would let me be "Secret Azn Man"? :-D
 
Although I'm in Cleveland for school, I too hail form da 'Nati! I'll also agree about DVI. On my Samsung 193P, I was having trouble with the DVI input so I switched to analog. It sucked so damn much. Blurry picture and color washout. DVI is the only way to go.
 
if youre going to pay the premium for an LCD over a CRT, pay a little more and get DVI.

it's very noticeable, and youll be glad you did.

You don't by any random chance go to Case?
 
Tried both with mine, and DVI is definitely better. You get a clearer, crisper picture, but you can't adjust it as much as you can analog (don't really need to....)
