Absolutely.  For a better explanation refer to Brian Livingston's
columns in the last couple of issues of "Info World".  He talks about
using some software to adjust "phase" of those monitors to compensate
for the AD converters.  My experience is that DVI cards simply don't
have that problem.  Bright, sharp, contrasty image.
