I've got a 23" LG monitor connected to my computer with a VGA cable. DVI-D cables are inexpensive...even though, would it be worth it to get one? Thanks!!
 
Look at it this way... The data inside your computer is digital. The representation of windows on your desktop is digital. Your LCD monitor is a digital display, even though the final signal to the LCD cell is analog. Why convert your digital display representation to an analog Red, Green, and Blue form via a Digital-to-Analog (D2A) converter, send it across the cable to your monitor only to have it turned back into digital form through an Analog-to-Digital (A2D) sampler so your monitor can then display it?

DVI-D keeps it digital the whole way. Much easier and cleaner that way.
