DVI vs VGA on 24" or above monitors...

**edgeprod** · 10-24-2006, 02:04 AM

Agreed. I see the different more when running two 30" screens than when running two 24" screens, but it's definitely there, for gaming especially.

Sorry that I missed your question before -- I would have given you the story then.

I use a 20" and a 24" and they were both on VGA inputs. A friend of mine was over and he asked why the 24" looked kinda substandard when compared with the 20"... So I upgraded and invited him back... Now he is like, DAMN! The 20" looks like shit now!

Cool deal. The only headache for me is disabling SLI every time I want to run both monitors (which, incidentally, is MOST of the time, so I guess the headache is actually ENABLING SLI when I want to play games).

I still have vga monitor and vga graphic card.

How do you manage to play games and make enough to buy companies?

i cant answer for him, but playing games is what keeps me sane enough to keep working

**salesman** · 10-24-2006, 02:51 AM

i see the difference on my 17" LCD, DVI is much sharper, thin lines have shadows with VGA monitor output

I dont really game much so it works well.

I keep the game playing to a minimum, but I use it to blow off steam ... instead of murdering people.

You might wanna upgrade your drivers, you can enable and disable SLI without restarting now.

You wanna take this outside?

Speaking of which, get back to beta testing Autoblogger Pro Standalone 1.0, or no dinner for you!

**Jarmusch** · 10-24-2006, 05:16 AM

It depends on the monitor, with some you can see an improvement, with other it's the same. For 24" or above you should use a dual link dvi-d connection to get best out of it.

**luvlyn** · 10-24-2006, 05:26 AM

planning to buy new 17" flatscreen but still on vga! T_T

**edgeprod** · 10-24-2006, 05:26 AM

Ragnaros in all his glory at 1920xsomething.

A logo I did for my WoW guild, ha!

Yeah, I game. What of it? *grin*

**Paranoid_android** · 10-24-2006, 05:45 AM

LOL I dont seem to have notice any one say that DVI is digital and VGA is analog....

Any way digital offers a higher Screen Rez.

That's a good point.

BTW WOW For the Win.... :P

GG.

**borked** · 10-24-2006, 09:28 AM

Even <20" displays will benefit from DVI in terms of brightness and contrast. Make sure you're using a DVI-D cable to harness DVI to its maximum (unless the monitor uses a DVI-I converter, in which case it shouldn't matter).

VGA is analalgue - using DVI on a CRT or DVI-A cable is slighlty better than VGA in terms of clarity, but you need to transmit the digital signal to the digital monitor with DVI-D - just amazing clarity.

DVI vs VGA on my dual Samsung syncmaster 225bw 22" monitors is huge. Dvi is the way to go.

**FetishWeb** · 10-24-2006, 09:56 AM

I'm hooked on Dual-DVI AGP Pro cards. Would never go back to VGA.

**woj** · 10-24-2006, 09:57 AM

yea, it makes it clearer and sharper, go for DVI cable for sure
