DVI vs. ANALOG

bobbyacid · 10-20-2006, 04:09 AM

Hello, just wondering if it is really worth forking £20 out on a dvi cable to go from my pc to new lcd monitor.
Apparently it gives better quality but i would like to know from someone that actually knows.

Cheers.

If you are in an area with a lot of noise (interference), it would be worth it. Even so, it would give better picture quality, though some would say its not worth it. It's really up to you, whether you think it's worth it.

If I were in your situation, I would look around for a cheaper cable like this:

You probably don't want to pay shipping on a $6 cable, so I would look around at stores. You will end up paying more at stores like radioshack.
