The original also had DVI connector but its contrast ratio was also 1:20,000
This new one doesnt have a DVI only VGA and the contrast ratio is now 1:50,000
Not a big deal.
I picked up 3 of them and surprisingly enough the VGA connection looks incredibly crisp. I thought I had 3 returns on me but the VGA connection looks great.
Of the three monitors I only have one stuck pixel which is red and in a useless place being the dots are so small I could care less.
If you were doing eyefinity anyhow the third port on the video card being DisplayPort still would need an adapter if the monitor were DVI or VGA. The downside is the VGA one costs a little more.
I will also say the monitor scales to other resolutions very very good. Very happy with it.
