Re: DVI or Analog Connection for LCD
From a technical standpoint, DVI is better. However, when everything else is equal, MOST people couldn't tell the difference.
But everything else is normally not equal. For example, the A/D converter in the Dell 1904FP LCDs is complete crap, largely because the manufacturer figured anyone buying a DVI monitor wouldn't need to use the VGA input. For this reason DVI looks night and day better than VGA, though it is the shortcomings of the converter in the LCD to blame, not the connection type.
My suggestion....pick up a DVI cable at one of the local stores. (Best Buy, Circuit City, etc) Try it out and see if it makes a difference. If not, you can return it for a full refund.
*Personally I would return it either way, and order a DVI cable from Monoprice.com if you decide you want one*
