I bought a 17" TFT display with DVI input some months ago. It did cost
500 Euro and it is a noticable difference in the quality of the output
whether you use the DVI input or the analog input of the display.

OK, it's not that common at the moment, it's only one small example 
where a hardware wish collides with the packages supported by
Debian 3.0.

Instead in continuing this discussion, let's agree on some points:
- you can find hardware that works with Debian 3.0
- much new hardware doesn't work with Debian 3.0
- it would be good if Debian would release more frequent (e.g. once a
  year)
