I recently bought two samsung B2230H 21.5" monitors for dual display with my Lenovo N500. One monitor is connected via HDMI and the other via VGA. Problem is that the picture quality is only ok and not as good as I would like it to be. Surprisingly, the HDMI picture quality is worse than the VGA and after a some searching I've read on different sites that this is common with some HDMI connections. I've also tried different HDMI cables and the problem persists.

My question is, should I try either a DVI/USB or DVI/VGA cable and any recommendations for one over the other? Would there any loss in picture quality with either of these cables? Is DVI/USB a better option?

Thanks
