[Leaplist] Monitors for the School

[Derek Konigsberg]

I'm still not sure why DVI input has been considered a "premium feature" 
on LCDs (lower-end ones anyways) for so long.  After all, if you think 
about it, shouldn't it require *more* electronics internally to support 
VGA input for an inherently digital display?

That being said, in my experience VGA input for LCDs seems to work just 
fine (if auto-adjusted correctly) up to resolutions of 1280x1024 (highest 
you'll ever get on a <20" non-wide desktop LCD).
Once you get to 1600x1200, you can really tell the difference with DVI.
