anyone actually notice benefit on DVI vs Analog ?

[LS20]

connection on an LCD monitor?

seems like theres a large barrier between LCD monitors with just analog, and those with DVI... most of the reasonable priced ones do not have it. is it worth getting? any real noticable differneces?

 

[Gunbuster]

Yes

I have an analog & a DVI sitting side by side, big difference...

Same here... 1760NX here -- DVI vs analog VGA is a big difference.

 

[Chiropteran]

It's a huge difference. I will never buy an LCD with analog only.

 

[LS20]

thats weird... ive also heard otherwise. i have a r8500LE, if it makes a diff...

articulate on the differences, please? crisper text or better colors? less fatique?

DVI > Analog

Huge difference.

 

DVI is completely worth the extra cost.

 

[EMPshockwave82]

how much difference in cost are you talking?.. what size are you looking at and what sites / businesses have you been going to?

 

[spacejamz]

only noticeable differenct if you get the DVI monster cable

jk...using a $20 fleabay DVI cable and it blows away the analog...

hmmmmmmmmmm, for me, not really.

the difference you see depends on the quality of the LCD. I used to have a 17.4" Planar and it was horrible when connected via analog.

I now have a 1900FP and while it is better with DVI its pretty darn clear with analog. I'd use DVI if i could but I ditched my desktop and only use a laptop now.

details...details please!!!

actually, you'd be surprised what the higher end models offer in terms of analog. its actually quite impressive.

i have a Planar 174 hooked up using DVI and a Samsung 173P through analog side by side right now, both are incredible

hell yes

is it the newer slimmer bezel one or the old think bezel one (CT1714NU?). I ahd the think bezel one and it was absolutly horrible when using analog. Super sharp when using DVI

 

[LS20]

here comes the disparity


edit: found out Hyundai Q17 was discontinued.. now looking at perhaps NEC 1760 or any samsung in the 500$ price range

model is PV174, i've never used it with analog, so not sure what this actually looks with that. but DVI makes my eyes pretty happy
