any benefit compared to what?

dvi and hdmi, they are electrically compatible so they can be interconnected, but hdmi has audio and remote-control features that dvi doesn't have

read this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI

If got HDMI port...by all means.....HDMI is the best way to go currently

did you read his post? - he knows there is a DVI - HDMI connector.


OP does not have a HDMI port on the TV

did you guys fail reading comprehension or what?


@carbonfibre

if you are asking if its better than using component, yes because component signal is analog, and your TV is digital - so if you use component, the signal has to be converted to analog first by your display card, then back to digital in your TV so it can display the picture. This may or may not produces artifacts, but it is always better not to mess with converting signals between digital and analog domains.

By all means, use the DVI-HDMI cable, or an adapter

okay thanks guys what i actually wanna know..

is is there any point using HDMI ( output ) to a NON HDMI Input LCD ( will be connected here by dvi.. compared to just changing my LCD to have a HDMI input?

@carbonfibre

there is no difference between using a HDMI straight or HDMI-DVI - they are compatible digital video transports.

compared to buying a new LCD altogether? no idea... is the new LCD going to have a better video processor than your comp video card? is the new LCD better than the current LCD?

you are asking if you should spend US$9 compared to RM 2500 or whatever a full HD LCD costs nowadays?

I think the question is - do you want a new LCD?

i dont want a new LCD, but its just the fact that im unsure if a LCD tht has HDMI input will make a difference since my video card supports full HD.. and i tried it on my LCD tv which is full hd and has HDMI its alot clearer and sharper o.o

if you tried it and it works great, and you don't want a new LCD what is the problem?

you have Samsung 2233 SW LCD monitor with DVI
you have graphics card with HDMI
yes they can be interconnected with whatever cable or converter you like, no ill-effect will occur on your screen
if you are playing game, then D-sub VGA is the best, no lag

So for LCD TVs without HDMI input but only DVI-D input, get the adaptor for optimized PQ?

yes

Need advice please. Does anyone know if the DVI-D input of older Samsung LCD TVs are "male" or "female". Am helping my sis find a HDMI/ DVI-D adaptor, and I just read there are male and female DVI-Ds. Read the manual, but is not indicated. Thanks in advance.
