Currently using VGA.

I've been thinking of going to DVI but I don't really play much games and DVI cables seem so expensive.

I've heard it wouldn't do much for a 15" monitor.

I'm using DVI as it offers superior quality over VGA.

Agreed, use DVI if your monitor and graphics card support it.

You should see a slightly crisper picture.

DVI... why bother converting a digital signal to analogue if it only has to be converted back again.

the increase in quality is probably not very noticeable, but there's also stuff like not having to move the picture around so it fits the monitor, etc. etc. it's definitely better than VGA, it's just that it's more expensive to buy a monitor with DVI input. most graphcis cards have DVI output though.

It's not true that the difference between DVI and VGA is not noticeable, the difference is huge. But you need a good monitor in order to notice it. Just like you need a good set of speakers to notice a better sound card. DVI makes both CRT and LCD monitors look sharper.

the fact is AD and DA converters are much better now. it's more likely that the difference will be less noticeable on higher end screens imo.

I say DVI...if you got a 15'' to 17'' lcd...just keep vga...but anything higher then 17'', I say use DVI....I use DVI on my desktop and vga connection when my laptop is hooked up to my 2005FPW....and I can notice a difference in the sharpness and clarity of the 2 connections.

I'm on a 24" Widescreen LCD running at 1920x1200, and I can tell you that there is a massive difference between dvi and vga at these resolutions. DVI is without a doubt the way to go with high-res displays.
