Thread: Query on Picture quality when we use DVI/HDMI/D-SUB(VGA)

J4K, can you please tell what difference will we notice in the picture quality when we use DVI/HDMI/D-SUB(VGA) cables to connect to the TV (plasma or LCD).

Also, is the "burn out" effect removed for plasma's ?

p/s. I created a new thread for this.

HDMI is the best way to connect to LCD TV. DVI is same quality as HDMI but is video only and you will have to use separate sound cables.

Now I am assuming that you are talking about connecting the computer output to LCD/Plasma TV because stand-alone players do not have DVI or VGA.

VGA is analog video and is again video only. So you will have to use separate sound cables for audio.

As far as the quality goes, I have used DVI and VGA to connect to my Samsung 19" monitor (1440 x 900). To the naked and my inexperience eye, I could not detect any perceptible difference. Maybe DVI was slightly better, I cannot say.

But perhaps, if you connect to a large screen TV then the difference maybe visual.

You asked another question on the burn-out problem with Plasma. And I will say this. The problem is overhyped in my opinion. The problem occurs only when the static image is displayed for a very long time on the same spot - like the channel logo or the game control panel (many electronic games have a control panel at the corner of the screen displaying stats, score, data, etc.)

The burn-in issue is much reduced in current lot of plasma but it still remains.

But in real life, one rarely watches the same TV channel day-in and day-out - well, maybe.
