Odium, no it isn't. Atlas are removing perfectly good 19 inch and larger VGA VDU and replacing them with 17 inch DVI VDU. Then, if you want a 19 inch you have to make a business case to buy a new 19 inch display.
You can bet your bottom dollar that there will be no refund for the 17 inch DVI that they remove.
As for DVI being around for 10 years, is it not odd that every computer provided in the last 8 years has been VGA? That commercial computers have VGA and rarely DVI?
I know one is digital and the other is analogue but what is the technical advantage of change as there appears to be no economical advantage?
