actually it was my 2005fpw on the dvi and a samsung 175v on the analog but either way the dvi was remarkably more sharp

DVI was designed to fight signal noise on the monitor cable. The reason you notice everything sharper is because you have a long cable or a room filled with EMI. That or you got new glasses =p. I've tried both, working at a computer store, and if you use a short triple shielded cable, it's not that bad. Unfortunately, DVI also makes driving large displays much harder.
