Poor Image Quality With DVI-VGA converter
Hello guys, i just bought two new 22" 1680x1050 resolution ASUS LCD
screens (vw222s). They only have VGA inputs, no dvi. I use an NVIDIA 8600GT 1gb graphics card with the latest drivers. Running vista 64bit. The graphics card has 2 outputs, a VGA and a DVI. The problem i have is with the DVI output. I use a dvi-vga converter to connect to my VGA input on my new screen. The image quality is A LOT less sharp than the straight VGA output from my graphics card to the VGA input of my new screens. Also the dvi-vga connected monitor producess small errors here and there. I have already tried a second similar DVI-VGA converter, but both give the same bad results Because i have two screens next to each other, and both using different outputs of the GPU i really notice the difference. Before i had two 19" LG's, and with those screens i never noticed any difference. What could cause this, and how can i resolve this? I hope you guys can help. Thanks very much! |

Poor Image Quality With DVI-VGA converter
I personally would never buy a digitally based LCD monitor that only offers
analog VGA inputs. You are wasting your video card's potentially temendous image quality and resolution. -- --DaveW wrote in message ...

Sometimes the analog DAC on either output is really super ****ty. *It usually happens with cheaper cards, but in this case it's exacerbated by the poor quality analog conversion happening on your LCD. *Certain LCD's convert analog signals better than others; it's literally a digital-to-analog-to-digital conversion process and involves interpolating adjacent pixels to produce the final color. *The analog pass through on your DVI port is probably not the best to begin with, or you have a poorly shielded DVI adapter (which is a known problem with VGA connectors in general).- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - The problem was the graphics card, when i changed it for an older nvidia one. 6800GS, both screens worked perfectly. Thanks for the help anyways. |
