I was reading the LCD faq before and came across this:
Quoted:
"Your video card produces an analog signal on the 15-pin cable, but the signal is converted back to digital by the signal processor on the LCD."
Does this mean that if your LCD only has VGA support, but your video card has a DVI port, you could buy a $5 VGA->DVI converter from radio shack and have a "true" (digital <-- --> digital) connection, since the monitor is going to convert that VGA plug into digital anyways (according to the FAQ).
Thanks. I have a feeling the answer is no (why would monitors bother coming with DVI ports), but who knows, it's worth asking heh.
