Not quite, the internal connection is in deed digital, but not DVI since it wouldn't be wise to convert to DVI and back for a distance of 5" from the GPU to the LCD. That is the (sad) reason why you need a ~150$ converter to connect a laptop lcd display to the DVI port of something. (btw. the ~150$ converters are not even universal!) Regards, ahb
