  1. aha! I had read there is no noise and a better loss ratio than with the analog (VGA) input, but I'll see if I notice it and then make a decission. DVI cables are 3€ at eBay but then again a crappy cable would probably make the difference less obvious
  2. Nah crappy is ok, digital works different. No picture, or good picture.
  3. Really? Don't get it. If the cable isn't good enough there can be signal dropouts or other bad things, besides it being analog or digital... am I wrong?
  4. Well must be REALLY bad to have a dropout.

    Think the crappy cables might have connectors that easily break etc, but when you dont disconnect every day there is no reason to buy expensive cables.

    Reason is that in digital world there are only 2 states, 1 and 0. In analogue its from -Inf to +Inf (in theory). When a digital cable outputs 0.7V its still clearly 1 while in analogue it will actually give different results.
  5. Of course that is very simplified, but still sort of how it works
  6. Ahum, that makes sense... but then again most tech things I know are audio stuff, it might be different there
  7. Yeah, audio output is analogue (continous). Your screen consists of a discrete number of pixels.

    So in case of a LCD screen its better to avoid the 'useless' D/A and A/D converter you use using a VGA cable. For CRT things are different.
  8. aaah yeah I had read that too, using VGA is a double analog<>digital conversion (with the logical potential loss)... Yeah, I think I'll just give DVI a try. I can always go back to VGA in case I don't like it (can't see it happening, but you never know). Thanks for all the info Chris
  10. Motorola. Defy is excellent. Cool to have such a small phone again, bucking the trend of the 5 inch monsters. Android is still overrated and I gave up trying to get CM7 on it (for now at least) and the screen isn't overly brilliant but cool device.
  11. Good to see you're sticking with a phone for a while Gerard
    What do you think about the new Macbook Pro?
  12. Expensive. And still annnoyed that 'Regina's was all a lie. I don't honestly see myself as ever needing another laptop ever again. The ipad does all of my browsing.
