formac 1740 VGA vs. DVI/ADC
i'm gonna replace my tibook 500 for a new one. i'm not quite sure if i should take the 15" or the 12" and the formac 1740 VGA.
now i'm curious if one can actually SEE differences between the vga and the dvi version..
the question is - is there a real advantage in quality/ speed/ etc. in dvi?

One advantage of DVI is never having to adjust your monitor. Even with LCDs if you pump an analog signal in it is transposed onto the LCD less than perfectly. Although, most monitors have an Auto-correct function usually you have to hit that button everytime you change resolutions or restart your computer.
As for image quality that is a more subjective area. I haven't had the opportunity to view an all digital and an analog/digital combo side by side yet. Although I found the analog/digital mix to provide good results ( I couldn't see any faults that I could attribute to that specifically ).
Personally, Im just blown away by the perfect geometry of LCDs. I do a lot VB and CBuilder interface work and CRT's drive me nuts. Two textfields that are identical in size will appear to be a different width if one is placed near the edge of the screen and one is placed in or near the middle. CRT pixel density is not uniform and concentrated toward the middle of the display and thins out nearer the edge.
Any LCD rocks and I think you would be happy even if you went with the 12" vga-to-adc action.
