Author Topic: DVI cable and LCD monitor question (Read 186 times)

Old Sony CRT finally started to go bad, so I bought a new monitor. Got the Samsung 960, a 19" LCD with 4ms response time. I am getting some ghosting (slight), but the picture is awesome!
My question is should I get a DVI to DVI cable and might it improve the performance a little. Currently using the old analog to DVI cable that came with the monitor. BTW, I have a 9800 Pro, so I think that it has a DVI output on it. (I'm at work, so I'm not currently looking at my rig).
Any help or opinions?
Thanks!:aok

I have a 930B on a ati 9800pro on DVI input
DVI will make everything look better than the analog input

Hooked up the DVI cable last night. It does look great, and seems to have relieved the small ghosting problem I had as well.
My old 19" Sony was a higher end monitor at the time I got it, but I have to say this new Samsung 960BF TFT LCD looks so much better. Besides providing a larger viewing surface (a true 19" as opposed to the 17 1/2" of the Sony), the colors are more vibrant and the details much sharper. The colors on the Sony looked washed-out by comparison.
So far, me likes!
