In addition....most of the lcd's can be driven at 75hz instead of the normal
60hz.....they're ALOT crisper at the higher frequency....try that too...

But I do agree....using a DVI-I interface (if your lcd has one) is the
better way to doing it....but since they're two standards for DVI (DVI-I and
DVI-?) make sure you use the correct cable and video card.
