[citation][nom]livebriand[/nom]It's not a big deal - DVI>HDMI cables cost $5, and they're electrically compatible so there's no active conversion or potential loss of quality involved.[/citation]
Well, with my Asus 24" monitor, I noticed the colors were worse when using DVI as opposed to HDMI. But it really isn't a big deal like you said. I'm more sad about the lack of a Display port with this 27" monitor, which is better than the other two.
And I also wish it were at least 1200p, but for the price that Best Buy is offering - you really can't beat this sort of deal with any 27" monitor (Planaar is the only company that offers similar deals I think for 27" monitors).
