I second that too. I didn't buy a LCD yet, but I've seen the difference
between analog and DVI, and it's a big difference. I think that I'll buy
the dell 17" ultrasharp, it's a quite unexpensive one, and it has DVI.
Did someone try the dell LCD? Any drawbacks? I've seen the dell 20"
ultrasharp LCD, and I quite liked it, so I guess that the 17" version
has about the same quality.
