DVI Flat Panels?

David_Bloom asks: "I've been shopping for flat panels, and have found it very hard to find a good deal on an LCD with DVI. My best bet so far is probably the NEC MultiSync 1550XBK (I've heard good things about its picture quality, and I'm not a gamer, so update times are irrelevant to me), but I've noticed that for about the same cost (~$600), I could buy a 17" Samsung LCD with that TV and video input thingy, but it only has analog VGA input (no DVI). I really don't want to buy a flat screen without DVI to avoid the phasing problems (its a must for me). Any reccomendations on good, low cost DVI-compatible flat screens? Any idea why monitors with DVI support are more (it's digital, so in theory, it should cost less, because there's no need for a analog to digital conversion)?"

I don't see why more people aren't using DVI to begin with. After all, it is a terrific format (although embedded figures and fonts are left out) but everybody insists on PDF files! Why?? Why???

- very subtle
- No, just fairly obscure :)

There's a difference between subtlety and just being obscure, but it's quite a subtle difference that can easily be obscured.
