DVI vs. VGA

What are the advantages to hooking up a LCD through a DVI connection? In a dual LCD setup would you notice a difference between one hooked up with DVI and one with VGA?

Thanks,

Shad
 
If you have a good quality GFX there should be little to none difference but, if the card has low quality VGA filters DVI will rock as the image is procesed by the monitor itself.
 
I'd bet if you had the same LCDs side by side, one DVI and the other analog, you'd notice a difference in image quality / sharpness.
 
DVI looks better than VGA.

Because the VPU ditigal signal has to be translated to analog for the VGA. This loses information.
 
DVI is sharper, crisper compared to VGA(analogue)at least with my eyes on my Samsung 191T,also using DVI can help reduce ghosting compared to VGA.
 
My experience with it... At first I had my 9800pro with VGA, and I thought it looked great. Went to DVI, didn't notice a huge difference. Went back to VGA for reinstallation of Windows, and I could tell right away that there was a big hit in image quality. So, yea, it does make a difference and if you can, why not?
 
Ditto on a 9800np. Biggest difference I saw was small text on the desktop. DVI much crisper for my LCD.
