When you've been dealing with video for as long as I have it's really not that hard to gauge what the difference is w/what your eyes can visually see. To test, the only thing you need to do is to get two identical monitors going on, same computer (same video card ideally w/two inputs, one VGA, other DVI). Hook up them side by side and setup your video card to play video streams simultaneously on both screens. Have a look. You'll clearly see a mass difference in quality. Sure, you can't really get a 100% accurate representation of what it's going to be in % or anything like that, but there is a clear difference (and quite a large one at that) between VGA and DVI. I would say at *least* a 25% change in quality. The larger the screens you test it with the easier you will tell there is a difference in quality.
For reference the DVD's I used were Hero and The Fifth Element
Use just about any film with bright vibrant colors and you will instantly see a difference with a 19" LCD monitor and above. Also? the difference between DVI and VGA is huge, whereas the HDMI interface I can?t tell the difference at all with 19? LCD?s when using DVI. I?m guessing you?ll see a difference with monitors that are at least 21? and w/super high quality video, I?m just not up to that point yet so I can?t really test it accurately.
