Bought a 22" LCD. I have an 8800GTS as well. The monitor didn't come with a DVI cable, I ordered one that got here today but for the last few days I've just been using the analog cable with the adapter.
When I hooked up the DVI-D dual link cable, I was expecting to see some differences in the picture, from what I hear. Although I can't compare analog vs digital side by side (I only have this one LCD), I wasn't able to detect any real difference between using the DVI or the Analog.
Maybe I don't know what to look for, I was expecting something obvious to pop out at me and it didn't.
I should note that I am using the latest nvidia drivers (brand new just released yesterday) and I did notice that the scaling option is now available and working, which is nice.
Other than that, I'm wondering why its worth buying a DVI-D cable.
Can somebody tell me what to look for as far as what improvements I should be seeing with the DVI cable? Obviously, it is working, and it is detected since I have the flat panel scaling option now. Is there something else I might need to do with some settings? I just don't know.
Maybe the truth is all that it is good for is the scaling option, and maybe an increase in picture quality that may or may not be noticeable?
I don't know.
