I have a Powermac G4 and I have a 22 samsung LCD monitor I just bought and I was wondering if there's some kind of converter to make it work with my mac that has VGA only?
DVI is greater effective than VGA for TFTs via fact they're digital and VGA is analog. A TFT displayes its photograph digitally, pixel according to pixel. via DVI the panel gets information for each pixel, so the photograph generated interior the pictures card will tournament appropriate with the pixels on the panel itself. in case you're utilising an costly liquid crystal exhibit computer screen then you definitely could (could) see a transformation interior the prevalent of the photograph.
You need to check if that monitor has a DVI-I input port that can receive both digital DVI and analog VGA. Most DVI ports on monitors are DVI-D only (can only receive a digital DVI video signal). Monitors with DVI-I ports (that can receive both) are pretty rare. If your monitor's DVI is DVI-D only, then you cannot connect VGA to it.
Seems the same situation with my own. New monitor, old system. Monitor has VGA DVI-I. But still required 2 drivers upgraded.
yes. There is a DVI to VGA converter. It's online at the apple store under cables. You should know that the VGA doesn't offer the best in terms of resolution. If you're sitting at a high resolution on your monitor, it might need to be sized down. However, if it's a new monitor, I would guess that if it doesn't have a DVI input that it has an HDMI input. If so, I would recommend getting a DVI to HDMI converter. You can get those at any local best buy or Target. it's converting one form of HD to another, so there isn't a big drop off in resolution.
