How do I get a DVI monitor/video-card connection to work?

[Bob Myers]

Then why do so many people seem to rave about digital input? It does
seem to be very sharp as an analog image; the pixels all line up
perfectly, as far as I can tell.

Part of it is simply that "digital" in general has been very successfully
marketed; there's a mindset of "if it's 'digital,' it must be better." And
in SOME cases, it is - if the analog "front end" of an LCD monitor
isn't doing a good job of generating a sampling clock for the timing
it sees, then the sampling of the video information can wander around
and lead to an unstable image (most often, you'll see little "flickers"
around the edges of objects or characters). But if the sampling of the
analog signal is done correctly, then the image produced will be
basically indistinguishable from that of the "digital" connection.

The real selling points of digital interfaces have little to do with image
quality (although in some cases there can be a difference - not always
in favor of the digital connection, but a difference), and much more
to do with the ability to more easily manipulate and protect the
information.
