You should check your own facts before calling someone else names when they're right.
Right according to what? And his name-calling was in response to the previous poster.
There is a massive differerence. DVI is digital. RGB (what he's calling VGA) is analog.
Massive difference, eh !?! What like 2.7 x 10^9 or less?
Deing digital or Analogue itself isn't an issue, it depends on the quality of the components and how they are being used. What's better, digital or analogue audio (depends on the quality and rate doesn't it?), same goes for video. You can have digital artifacts just like analogue artifacts. And like I said both have their weak links.
A picture from an analog source on an LCD panel has gone trough two lossy conversions. D to A by the video card and A to D in the monitor. It has also been degraded (twice) by quantization, and also signal loss in the cable and also its timing signals are analog therefore the H and V sync is less accurate.
And yet you can still get a better image from a quality VGA cable and good filtered output than from a poor TMDS on crap cables outside their range. The potential is better for DVI within a given range, but it doesn't always result in a better picture, which is what the discussion has been sofar. So if someone came in saying their VGA was giving them a better picture than their DVI your argument and that of LB7 would be tha it's them because DVI is better than VGA. Which isn't always the case as many of us with experience with both know.
Its exactly like comparing the sound quality of DVD to cassette tape. One is digital one is analog.
Obviously you've never really looked at all the options when authoring a DVD. Make the bit-rate low enough and your DVD will look worse than a VHS tape (let alone Super-Beta), it isn't just digital vs analogue alone.
Anyone who says RGB looks as good as digital is probably using a crt monitor (which by its nature is an analog device) or maybe a resolution that isn't the LCD panel's native resolution. In either case, they aren't getting the best beacuse of basic mistakes, so are techincally clueless and most definately wrong.
Niz you prove over and over that you just don't know what you're talking about. It's not because of 'mistakes' unless they are using the wrong hardware, and that can happen for both DVI and VGA. Seriously, if you knew what you were talking about, you'd take a more centrist position, and know that the output image depends on alot of factors many of which are heavily influenced by the user (be it requirements or limitations).
More of grapeape's usual standard of crap.
Awww poor baby, just because I keep schooling you NIZ, no need to think people post crap like you do.
The p260 is a 19.1 inch viewable CRT with a current value of $39.95 on ebay so its nothing to boast about.

eBay!?! C'mon, you're gonna argue eBay prices? We're talking quality, not prices dumbA$$ or did you think this was an economics discussion I was schooling you in yet again. The P260 is among the best Trinitrons made, and no consumer level LCD can compete with the quality. A good (and expensive) LED BacklitLCD panel can compete, and the extremely expensive HDR panels, but then again, that's the panel, not the connection, like I said. Your inability to distinguish between the two shows your ignorance.
Of course you won't see a difference between DVI and analog on a CRT.
That's not the issue now is it, it since there is no digital on a CRT DVI-A is still analogue or did you not know that. What I was saying is that it's not the interface that always matters, so comparing a DVI-I connected LCD from 4-5 years ago isn't going to guarantee a better picture, there's more involved.
]And if you think any CRT could ever be as sharp as even a cheap digital panel then you really are clueless.
Well based on your previous posts and the fact that I work with both, as well as with higher end panels, I KNOW you're clueless, just look at all your suppositions and how many times you got them wrong.
You THINK I'm wrong, everyone else, including myself, can clearly see you're wrong! Maybe it's the quality of the connection between your brain and your eyes/keyboard. :tongue:
