You are correct, no DVI. (or course, my Westinghouse 19" LCD does not have DVI either and I paid over $360 for it)

Once you have DVI you never go back...
My Planar 19" (purchased from Dell @ $500 2 years ago) is awesome. Switching from VGA to DVI you will definately see a difference. Especially with the mini because of the dark VGA issues. On my Powerbook I was only using the DVI->VGA connector because it allowed me to switch things with my KVM using fewer movements, and I couldn't really tell a difference between DVI and VGA on the Powerbook. I can definately tell a difference between the two on the Mini, though. |

No way I'll be able to get away from my KVM anytime soon...so DVI was not a big selling point. (my 19" LCD looks GREAT now with my various PC's and laptop...we'll see if I have issues once the minis arrive)

| Still using the KVM.. just not for the video on one input. My monitor will auto-detect signal on VGA or DVI so there's really no extra steps involved in switching. |
