Dere is just difference in the signals and no difference in picture quality or performance whatsoever.

i believe u will notice a difference in the DVI input. its supposed to be sharper 
wait for others to post 
wait for others to post I completely agree, A week back i switched to DVI on my Dell 22" lcd and seen lot of improvement.
Let me give you an example, I use internal TV tuner to watch TV on LCD. As you know TV signal has low resolution. When i switch to fullscreen while watching TV, it is crap on VGA. But on DVI, fullscreen appear much more sharper than VGA.
I should say if you have DVI, then you should switch to it. I guess, you dont really have an option.
Edit: I don't play games, so can't actually comment on it. But you will definitely notice the difference when you play low resolution video in full screen.

Dat's right. The difference is not noticeable when it's used on a general 17" LCD. When u move up the screen size u will find VGA a little less sharper. Moreover u must have good media like HD or Bluray to feel the improvement, not with those Xvid videos dat keep circulating.

I have got some theory from googling on it..and come to know that DVI is good for HD(22" monitor atleast)..also it gives better color for those are in high quality digital picture artist(only they can detect the difference)..if u have anythng more,,thn please elaborate..u r most welcomed buddyandrew327 said:

ok..nice addition 2 my knowledge base

I've run a 24" side by side DVI VS VGA and there's a difference in sharpness and clarity probably due to the improved bandwidth I don't know. I was watching 1080p content and we had a 1440p clip to test.
The difference in sharpness is particularly noticeable in fast action scenes especially when you pause the picture and study the scene. But when you've not got a reference DVI at the side its very difficult to spot the difference.
Even games look a little sharper IMO. But once again they have to be side by side and fed by a quadro type card which has identical quality on primary and secondary DVI connects.

1. The difference is perceived only when you play HD/Blue-Ray content which require high bandwidth that VGA port can not handle.
2. DVI (and HDMI) ports were introduced to allow embedding of HD media content with DRM and encryption technologies which requires more signalling lines than VGA port. VGA port will only allow normal unencrypted video signal.
