Forum: Geek Forum Topic: Digital monitors and video cards--Worth it? started by: C_Puppy Posted by C_Puppy on Nov. 29 2001,15:11
Now I have heard some stuff floating around about DVI (digital video interface)--- now I know VGA has been a standard for computers for a long time-- But I am getting a jucy govermental contract through the two colleges I work for to do alot of 3D modeling and plugin work for Maya and 3D studio-- now I want to buy a dual processor AMD board and all those goodies for my computer and a flat panel display-- and I finally saw one of them say they support DVI and analog-- I assume analog is what most people use now-- SO my question is Just how good is this new standard and is it worth the extra money to get cards and monitors that are DVI capable?------------------ Posted by damien_s_lucifer on Nov. 29 2001,20:21
hell yes, get the DVI monitor. Analog flat-panel monitors are really susceptible to ghosting and jitter, which results in areas of blurriness and/or flicker on the screen. Even the really high-end monitors do this. DVI monitors don't have this problem. IMHO a high-end CRT is easier on the eyes than analog flat-panel, but the cheapest DVI display will outperform the best CRT./me schemes on how to sneak out the ViewSonic VPD150 I have at work...

They're harder to find, but you can get DVI CRTs too. They are theoretically a little sharper because of the shorter analog paths.
