dvi is higher quality
VGA isn't the best option. Consider using HDMI or DVI to hook up your computer.
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.
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).
If you have the correct cables and a DVI to VGA adapter (as most computer monitors use VGA), it should work.
DVI is higher quality connection and uses a different style plug.
If you monitor has a DVI,VGA or HDMI, then you can.
You cannot connect a HDMI to a VGA video output on a computer. VGA is an analog signal and the DVI adapter connects it to the analog pins on the DVI cable (a DVI-I cable has both analog and digital pins). A HDMI to DVI cable connects to the cable's digital pins, therefore, no connection is being made. The easiest way to do this is to upgrade your computer's video card to one with a HDMI output. These can be purchased for less than $50.00, and will allow you to connect your computer to your TV with one cable and no adapters.
Yes. Just make sure that the connector will fit (eg both monitor and PC are VGA or DVI). a VGA monitor will work on a DVI computer through an adaptor, but a DVI monitor will not work on a VGA computer.
For years the most common connector has been a VGA or DB-15 analog connector. Most laptops still use the analog connection. However, today the Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is becoming the standard. There are several styles of DVI connector. See links below for more complete explanations of these connectors.
You can buy a DVI to VGA adapter.
Use the DVI port. You can use a dvi cable, vga cable (using the dvi adapter that came with your computer), or a DVI to HDMI cable. Just plug the cable into the computer and the tv and your Mac will do the rest.
DVI is the digital display standard for computer displays, so it is indeed a monitor cable. DVI provides similar resolutions to analog VGA cables when running LCD panels at their native resolution and normally avoid timing errors that can reduce the clarity of VGA signals in some cases. DVI can also support analog VGA signals on the same cable so before changing to a DVI cable make sure your monitor and computer both support DVI digital.
