DVI and Analog display question

I currently have a Dell UltraSharp 2407W monitor and it is sweet. I was in BestBuy this weekend and saw a 28" monitor by HannsG. I started to purchase the monitor and give my wife my Dell monitor. But as I looked closer at the Hanns monitor I realized it's only outputs were VGA (analog) or HDMI. My current video card is a BFG 7800 GTX OC and it has DVI outputs.

The HannsG has an 800:1 contrast ratio (my Dell has a 1,000:1, it's about 2 years old).

What really bothers me is going from a DVI output to an analog output...makes me feel like I am backing up.

So, if I used an HDMI Male to DVI-D connector, would I get about the same quality if my monitor was hooking up straight to my DVI video card? This way my signal would stay all digital...correct?
 
Yup... DVI Is the exact same as HDMI without the autio portion. Hence you are still golden using the DVI to HDMI. No difference in any way quality/rez wise.
 
Thanks! That's what I wanted to know. I just ordered one of those HannsG 28" monitors from Newegg for $469.00...SWEET!
