  Even with non fixed-pixel display, digital out via DVI lets you skip an extra D-to-A conversion step, which is well worth it.

  Even though my TV is not fixed-pixel, DVI still looks better to me than component, on SD or HD material. DVD upsampled to 1080i looks better to me via DVI than component (my DVD player does 1080i via component also).

  It's not Oh-My-God type of difference, but there's subtle clearing of video noise, solidity of images, and saturation of color via DVI, noticeable with certain material but not with some others.

  "However are there any advantages of using DVI input with a CRT monitor ?"

  I'm using the DVI input on my Sony CRT TV. The picture quality may not be any better than running the standard component video cables in 'normal use' BUT...

  My Denon DVD-5900 player will upscale it's picture output to 720p or 1080i and do it ONLY on it's DVI connection. I think this is fairly common with DVD players that upscale the video. So in this case, even with the CRT TV, the DVI connection is key to getting that sharper upscaled picture.

        As always, it depends on many factors, for instance, the quality of the scaler on the display versus the player, actually I have read that it is better to downscale, 480 versus high-res plasmas come to mind, if the signal is not good...
