Well, DVI is a high definition interface, it can support resolutions of up to 1920x1200 (although the monitor can only support 1680x1050, so it cannot properly play back 1080i or 1080p sources), but it lacks HDCP, so you won't be able to connect a Bluray/HD-DVD player or a PS3 to it.

 

oh alright. can you recommened any monitor?

 

thanks you very much. i forgot to say it my last reply

 

Well, do you need a monitor with HDCP enabled?

If you do, check out the Dell 2407WFP (Make sure it's the A04 revision)

 

i was looking on the dell website and i saw this also

i was wondering which one would be better for the 8800 gts 320 mb

 

The 30" is higher resolution and obviously bigger, but it's not HDCP enabled, and only has a DVI input. The 30" is the monitor I use, and it's fantastic, but you won't be able to plug anything but a PC into it.
