Hi,

Not really a Fedora related but I know there are lots of experts here :)
I need to change my Monitor and am considering a TFT, I have followed a 
thread here before and know what sort of spec's I need to go for, contrast 
ratio and refresh etc..

However some of the TFT's I have been looking at are mainly analogue (15 pin 
mini D-sub) but some also have a DVI input, this would mean I would need to 
change my Vidoecard. 
What are the pro's and con's of Analogue v DVI? 
The main use for my machine here is general Desktop work and  
building/testing packages and the occasional 3D game like UT3 or watch a 
DVD to let off steam..

Any tips and advice would be most welcome, I am very tempted with the Iiyama 
TFT's but in my price range only analogue is possible.

Cheers,

Colin
