Re: digital video input question

If you are running your desktop at the native resolution of your LCD and if
when you look at the screen with a magnifying glass and see that PC
application text characters are clearly formed and do not change then a
digital interface may not make any improvement since each pixel appears to
be displayed correctly and does not waiver.
Investing in a new graphics card may have other benefits especially if you
plan to add a HDTV tuner card to your system or to play high speed games.
Use of DVI certainly will not cause a loss of PQ.
