Re: LCD Monitor?
You were told to consider the LCDs connections BEFORE you purchased.<br /><br />DVI is the predecessor to HDMI. It is a way of moving a digital signal. DVI comes in three primary flavors, I, A, and D, and each of those flavors comes in single and dual link, for a total of six different DVI possibilities to interconnect analog and/or digital video an/or audio. Many of the DVI sockets are compatible with HDMI if you use an adaptor. Without knowing what flavor of DVI your LCD panel is, and what flavor of DVI you are connecting it to, it is impossible to suggestion a course of action other than try it, you might get lucky.<br /><br />DVI is the result of maxing out the possible bandwidth of a VGA connection. VGA is what computers typically use, looks very similar to DVI, but doesnt have the wide blade off to one side.<br /><br />DVI and HDMI have an ask/answer scheme built into the standard. VGA does not. It may or may not be implemented on any of your hardware. What happens is the sending unit (your computer) asks if the receiving unit (your LCD) is authorized to display the data, usually hi-def media content. If the LCD manfr hasnt paid the royalties to display hi-def content, there is no answer and the graphics card will scramble the signal being sent. If you LCD is certified for hi-def media content it will answer and youll never know anything about it. The ask/answer scheme is clocked at 2 cycles; asked and answered ever 1/2 second.<br /><br />Edit: Fwiw, if you have the LCD near your computer, it is highly likely you would not notice any diff between the VGA and DVI connections unless you have a hi-def LCD and a hi-def source for graphics. If you could tell the diff, it will be very slight. This presumes you aren't using some weird-assed old hardware.
