iron2000 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Currently using VGA. I've been thinking of going to DVI but I don't really play much games and DVI cables seem so expensive. I've heard it wouldn't do much for a 15" monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vice Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I'm using DVI as it offers superior quality over VGA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoopZ Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I'm using DVI as it offers superior quality over VGA. Agreed, use DVI if your monitor and graphics card support it. You should see a slightly crisper picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakthrough Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 It all depends on the monitor you're using. I don't think you'll notice a huge image quality difference, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shihchiun Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I'm using VGA right now. I'd use DVI if I had the money, but VGA doesn't look terribly bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kernatch Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 DVI... why bother converting a digital signal to analogue if it only has to be converted back again. the increase in quality is probably not very noticeable, but there's also stuff like not having to move the picture around so it fits the monitor, etc. etc. it's definitely better than VGA, it's just that it's more expensive to buy a monitor with DVI input. most graphcis cards have DVI output though.

Rudy Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 i had to get a gfx card better than what i needed ( i dont play games ) just to be able to get dual dvi output (instead of one dvi and one vga :pinch:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n30w1n Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 It's not true that the difference between DVI and VGA is not noticeable, the difference is huge. But you need a good monitor in order to notice it. Just like you need a good set of speakers to notice a better sound card. DVI makes both CRT and LCD monitors look sharper.

But you need a good monitor in order to notice it. Just like you need a good set of speakers to notice a better sound card. DVI makes both CRT and LCD monitors look sharper. the fact is AD and DA converters are much better now. it's more likely that the difference will be less noticeable on higher end screens imo.

l77Il7H Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 do everything you can to switch over to dvi! there is no performance difference but you'll have peace of mind. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thollian Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I say DVI...if you got a 15'' to 17'' lcd...just keep vga...but anything higher then 17'', I say use DVI....I use DVI on my desktop and vga connection when my laptop is hooked up to my 2005FPW....and I can notice a difference in the sharpness and clarity of the 2 connections.

SaguratuS Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I'm on a 24" Widescreen LCD running at 1920x1200, and I can tell you that there is a massive difference between dvi and vga at these resolutions. DVI is without a doubt the way to go with high-res displays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code.Red Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 VGA, I would use DVI but sadly the monitor I got for christmas doesn't have that plug. Ohwell, there isn't much of a difference (to me) anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoogleNinja Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 That's a good question :rofl: I would assume DVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
