The mini DVI to VGA cord is a converter cable or adapter cable. These types of cables will take input from one type of port and convert it into output which will be sent into the second type of port. In this case it will plug in something with a mini DVI plug into a VGA port.
When you use a VGA cable coming out of the monitor, the monitor is giving out an analog signal through the VGA connection. For the monitor to give out a digital signal, you need a DVI or HDMI cable. The VGA to HDMI cord just converts the analog signal into a digital signal so it's not completely useless, however the quality will not be as good as an HDMI to HDMI or DVI to DVI or HDMI to DVI
You can get them at the Apple online store, or through Amazon.
With a DVI to VGA lead one can link DVI and VGA devices. For example one could link a computer through its DVI output to a monitor with VGA input. One can buy them from Amazon.
You can buy a DVI to VGA adapter.
Look at what output port you have. It could be DVI, Mini DVI, Micro DVI, or other. The Apple store website should help you decide. Then decide what connection to the TV you want. For RCA cables (like a playstation uses), Svideo or others, though those are the most common. I use a Mini-DVI (from my white apple Macbook, though the new aluminum ones are MicroDVI) to RCA connector, then plug an RCA cable from the connector to my TV. This only handles the video. Sound is seperate, I use a cable that plugs into my headphones jack and outputs RCA. It may be a good idea to talk to someone at your local apple store.
Depends on if you have a DVI compatible monitor and video card. DVI is considered better than VGA.
You need a DVI-A Male to HD15 VGA Female Video Adapter.
The Apple store sells the Apple mini DVI to VGA Adapter for $25. This part can often be found on eBay or Amazon for less than the price that Apple charges.
No. HDMI to DVI uses a DVI-D or DVI-I connection and is digital, but a DVI to VGA uses a DVI-I or DVI-A and is analog. The best way to connect a PS3 to a projector is to see if the projector support component video through the VGA input using a VGA to component pigtail adapter. The projector might have even come with one. You then need to purchase a PS3 component video cable. This will allow resolutions up to 1080i (if your projector support it).
Well, I would recommend converting VGA format files to DVI format files with VGA format to DVI format file converters that are offered for use for a fee of no charge.
Dvi would be better than vga. DVI was the front runner for HDMI. VGA has been around for quite a while as far as technology goes.
dvi is higher quality
