I have to differ. I have been using an Acer 19" wide LCD monitor for the last 2 years. This monitor has no DVI input. I have put a DVI-to-VGA convertor on my display card, and it gives me the best image quality. I too thought DVI-to-DVI gives the best image, and so when a friend planned to buy a new monitor, I suggested the Samsung 940BW 19-inch wide, with a DVI-DVI connection. I have tested this monitor with analog vs digital connection, and there is no noticeable difference in image quality. GuitarMan wrote: > Absolutely!
