andaba Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 If you use the TV as a second monitor, and set it to 1920x1080 then yes, it'll be Full HD quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadge Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Yep VGA/DVI/HDMI are all acceptable and able to be used for HD. DVI is most likely your best best if the computer / TV support it and will show a much more crisp image, usually the blacks are blacker and the reds deeper. HDMI is basically DVI with sound however the colours tend to be less crisp but still does the job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 HDMI is basically DVI with sound however the colours tend to be less crisp but still does the job! It's the same video signal so the picture won't be any different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadge Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Many people will dispute that with all kinds of setups. Both produce a digital signal thats for sure but if you comapare side by side there is some differiences. We tried it with a few Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP 24" and noted the colours to be much deeper with DVI even with a few brands of HDMI cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Many people will dispute that That's fine, they can. However the facts don't change that it is the SAME signal. It's not just "they're both digital", it's the SAME. If the monitor does something stupid and handles the different inputs differently, then that's down to the monitor, not the difference between HDMI and DVI.
