Monitor Image Quality Using "___-to-VGA" Adapter?
 

I bought a Mac Mini, and will drive dual monitors. I have some old LCD monitors laying around, but they are only VGA, so I have bought a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter and a HDMI to VGA adapter.

Now I am wondering if I should have gotten new monitors that have DVI inputs. Will I notice a problem with image quality, using the VGA monitors?

I don't need or want "large" or "widescreen" moitors, due to space limitations - I can only fit two 20'' standard aspect monitors.

No.

Thanks.

All three are the same desktop, can you tell the one that's on VGA? (only 1 of three is vga the rest are dvi)

is there a difference in quality? yes

will u notice it? prob not.


VGA is an analog signal. HDMI/DVI is a digital one. LCD monitors are natively digital. If they only have a VGA connector in the back, that means they're internally converting analog to digital. of course your hdmi/dvi to vga adapter is doing the opposite, converting digital to analog.
