In Reply to: DVI Better Than Component Video? posted by DaveNole on December 30, 2003 at 12:59:14:

Done correctly, a DVI output from a digital source gives you the capability to go from a digital signal (compressed YCbCr via MPEG2) to uncompressed digital RGB at the DVI output directly to the digital RGB processor in the display without any analog processing, extra D/A - A/D conversions and associated cables in between.

Unfortunately, some display manufacturers route their display's DVI input to an analog processor, thus negating much of the above. Many people who have compared their display's component picture vs the DVI picture have come away with the impression that DVI was no big deal. In reality, they were ignorant of the fact that the display manufacturer deliberately limited the DVI input's capability by their lack of proper implementation of the format.

Many, but not all, rear projection CRT and LCD manufacturers are guilty of this.
