help with monitor

[shanetemple14]

if i had a monitor that only had a vga input coul i buy and adapter that could convert that to hdmi or dvi so i could get better quality image and use dvi or hdmi cable

nope. Its not just about the physical connection; your monitor has to have the circuitry inside to handle HDMI or DVI

The quality will stray the same. hdmi and dvi are digital. vga is analog. An adapter has to convert the digital signal to an analog signal and the result of that will never be better as the original vga output of your graphics card.

ok thank you

could you tell me if dvi is any good compared to hdmi

 

[oczdude8]

there is no difference is quality between dvi and hdmi. They are both digital. Most new monitors use hdmi or displayport.
BUT HDMI can also transmit audio and supports HDCP encryption, which is needed to play some Blu-ray content. Generally, HDMI is more convenient.

I don't really think you should be worried about the connection type. A quality monitor will come with the right connections needed to fully take advantage of the capabilities of the monitor.
