DVI/VGA Question

[realdiehl]

Hey all,

I am looking at purchasing a laptop. The laptop I am interested in has everything I am looking for with the exception of a HDMI/DVI connector. If I use a VGA-to-DVI adapter, will it have the same quality as a laptop that just had a HDMI/DVI connector? Are there any other drawbacks to the adapter?

When using HDMI/DVI, I would be hooking it to LCD monitors, TVs, or projectors for presentations.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Kurt

At this point in time, I'd really look for a laptop with DVI-I output. You can then use a DVI-D monitor, a DVI-A -> HD15/VGA adapter, or a DVI-D to HDMI adapter and have everything you'd ever need for years.

There is no HDMI -> HD15/VGA adapter possible since the connector doesn't have room for the analog pins like DVI-I does.
