DVI cable installed
Today, I replaced my analog cable with a DVI cable. It may be my
imagination, but everything looks sharper and even the colors more saturated. It appears that I should have done this earlier, but my former video card did not have a DVI output like my current GeForce 8500GT. Godzilla

It is not your imagination: everything IS sharper since you are now running
in true digital mode rather than converted analog mode. -- --DaveW "Godzilla" wrote in message ... Today, I replaced my analog cable with a DVI cable.

Godzilla DVI is superior in most cases to VGA, would you like to know more? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface

Hi It depends on graphic cards, some DVI do not support analog. And as far as I know, only DVI-out from the graphic card is able to do both (the analog compatibility is generally used with a DVI-VGA converter). The monitor DVI-in is fully digital (DVI-D). So if you plug a DVI cable between a graphic card and a (most of the time LCD) monitor you should get a only digital signal. DVI-A : DVI Analog DVI-D : DVI Digital DVI-I : DVI Integrated (both analog and digital) Greetings, Ash

Ever flip a coin and NEVER have it come up heads?
