Guest CdLSRN Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Re: vga,HDMI, DVI Well I picked DVI, digital video input. We'll see how that works.

Networking new computer with win >98se. VGA = Video Graphics Array. The video standard that's been in p0lace for something like twenty years now. It's an analog signal. DVI = Digital Video Interface. A DVI connector has digital video data and (optionally) also analog video data. That makes it easy to construct an adapter to plug into a DVI connector, but have a VGA connector on the other end, to run a VGA monitor. DVI carries video only, no audio. HDMI = High Definition Multimedia Interface. Carries digital hi-def video as well as audio. State of the art connection, but CAUTION: these things can be infested with DRM restrictions that automatically downgrade video quality if you're not doing something approved by the manufacturer and the signal supplier. -- Tim Slattery MS MVP(Shell/User) Slattery_T@bls.gov http://members.cox.net/slatteryt

Guest Dan Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 Re: vga,HDMI, DVI Tim Slattery, do you know if DVI is supported in Windows 98 Second Edition? I have an Ati Radeon 9800 XT board with Windows ME drivers in 98 SE. "Tim Slattery" wrote: > "FU\(follow up\)" <NOSPAM@nospam.com> wrote: > > >What is the difference between VGA, HDMI, AND DVI?
