The "12 quid "converter uses an analog signal that is already present on the
DVI connector. I doubt that its performance would be any better than the
signal on the regular VGA port. Don't bother with the adapter, unless you
want to run two analog monitors (which your graphics card would probably
permit). If you really want to add a second monitor, though, make it
digital.
I have never compared DVI to analog on the same monitor. I just bought a
Samsung 204B, and so far (two days!) I've only used the DVI cable. My Dell
desktop machine at work has a 17" monitor with both analog and DVI inputs,
but the PC that drives it is analog only (onboard video). Both displays look
good to me. The text on both is more readable than it was on my previous
home monitor, a Sony HMD-440 19" CRT, even though the pixel sizes are
slightly smaller on the LCDs. (I used the CRT at a custom resolution of
1368X1026, which gave a 4:3 aspect ratio and a pixel size of approx. 0.27
mm.)
I doubt that you're giving up much with an analog LCD.

Hi,
just got a new graphics card that has 512Mb of DDR3 mem and a DVI
connection as well as VGA.
My Sony LCD screen only has VGA but for 12 quid I can get a convertor.
Is it worth it?
Is DVI that much better, any advice gratefully received
Paul
