what is the dvi vs 15 pin D-Sub quality comparison like?
hi.
considering buying a tft with dvi output to match my radon 9700 dvi. But as this radeon also has 15 pin D-Sub which am currently using I was wondering whether the quality is noticeable when using the dvi output with dvi monitor? thanks |

But as this radeon also has 15 pin D-Sub which am currently using I was wondering whether the quality is noticeable when using the dvi output with dvi monitor? thanks The difference will depend on how good the A-D/D-A converters in the TFT monitor and graphics card are. Since the display data starts out digital on the card and the LCD display is digital the use of the D-Sub means that everything is converted from digital - analog - digital. A breakdown anywhere in the chain will result in diminished results. It is entirely possible that you won't be able to see any difference in the display if your equipment is working as it should. Of course, using the DVI takes the worry out of "would it be better if...?". -- John McGaw [Knoxville, TN, USA] Return address will not work.

hi,
fortunately i would be suing the dvi output on my radeon 9700 with the appropriate dvi cable connecting to a dvi monitor. now is there a noticeable difference between picture quality with a dvi output as compared to an fully analogous picture... thanks On Sun, 22 Feb 2004 11:21:20 -0500, "John McGaw" wrote: edek wrote in message ... hi. considering buying a tft with dvi output to match my radon 9700 dvi.

Like I wrote the first time, if everything is working perfectly in present analog setup and your equipment is of high quality you may not be able to see any improvement when you switch to DVI. It certainly won't hurt anything to change and it just might help. -- John McGaw [Knoxville, TN, USA] Return address will not work. Please reply in group or through my website: http://johnmcgaw.com |

But compering digital tv to analogue there is a noticible picture improvement. Digital is more sharp and clear. thanks |
