    Lo Folks,

    Got myself a new TFT on the way but it has VGA interface wanted to convert it to DVI. Not 100% sure on this but im pretty sure you can convert them. Want to keep my old screen in there as well (he he he). Anyone know where I could get one in Dublin/Online and how much would it be?

    Cheers

    That doesnt convert the signal, only the connector you know.

    DVI-I carries VGA and DVI
    DVI-D carries DVI
    DVI-A carries VGA

    It'll still work, just the quality will be the exact same as with a vga cable.

    slower ms on it, its 16, the other one im getting is 12, worth the extra bit i think....

    read a few reviews too, apparently its got not ghosting and is really good for gaming... great colours as well apparently

    Thanks for the offer for a DVI converter BTW, was just talking to a friend who claims he has millions in his workplace and he'll give me one for free, so sorted... :D

    The difference of 16ms and 12ms is marketing bull...honestly!!!

    I dont have a PC TFT monitor...but from reading review/boards there is no noticeable difference.
