And that's why I not only wrote the first statement you quoted, but
immediately followed with ...

  'Unless you are buying a cheap 15" or 17", you want DVI.
   But even 19" standard LCDs with DVI can be had for as low
   as $100 after rebate at times.'

It used to be you could find 15" or even 17" for under $100 after
rebate, but you had to give up DVI.  Nowdays you can find 19" with DVI
for under $150, if not $100.

My wife has been DVI for almost 4 years and I've been DVI for nearly
3.  There's nothing like it.  Both ATI and nVidia are pretty much
making dual-link DVI standard on their nexgen (R6xx and G8x,
respectively), so there's virtually no resolution you can't do -- even
with $1,000+ LCDs.
