DVI vs Analog - LCD input

[attack]

CRT's scan the image, and even though your conscious can't always see the flickering, eyes really can, and they get sore and tired after a while. the higher the refresh rates on CRT's the less fatigue most people experience.

I still think peaple are all going to see ghosting/blurring the same, because Im not actually thinking about refresh rate as in how many frames are displayed per second, Im thinking about the relashionship between response time and ghosting, wich may not exist at all, maybe bluring/ghosting isnt dependant on refresh rate, I dont know

blurring/ghosting isnt something that flickers before your eyes and dissapears in an instant, but something that stays visible on screen as long as the image is panning, and I figure if I can see it, anyone else can see it too

I don't know how else to phrase it, but this is a faulty assumption. People have varying color sensitivity and clarity of vision, both of which affect one's ability to detect ghosting.

Ive noticed that if you have a dvi-i output on your video card and you try to use the pass through connector it greatly degrades the quality of the signal making the screen more blury. My dad had 2 analog crt monitors side by side from a 9600pro card. The analog monitor looked great while the DVI-A output looked like crap. I recently put 2 of the same montiors side by side, one with Analog and the other using the DVI-D output. I couldnt notice any noticeable differences after cleartype was turned on. They were both crisp and clean.

I think it all depends on how much you are worried about it. I just suggest if you plan on using a DVI-I output on your video card then get a DVI-D monitor.

JTanczos:

It is possible that in your dad's case the video card had two different quality DACs for the outputs causing the difference.
