I just recently purchased a new Samsung LCD and am very happy with it but it did not come with a DVI cable. I'm using a 7900GT video card and was wondering how much of a difference would it make to buy a DVI cable, and also, how much should I be spending on it? It was $60 US at Best Buy so I passed.
 
DVI isn't necessary...you won't even notice the difference between DVI and analog.
 
I have compared the exact same monitor one on VGA one on DVI, never noticed a single bit of difference myself.
 
Thank you all for your feedback. Very helpful. I bought a DVI cable retail just to see if it was worth ordering and I didn't see a difference. MAYBE a tiny bit on text clarity, but I can't even say for sure. Good to know you can buy the cables online for $10 though, I paid $55 retail for this thing and it's going back! I just checked to be sure I could return it before buying.

Maybe the improvement depends on the LCD model you have as well.
