DVI Cable Advantages

Personal computers have evolved from the old green CRT monitors with 25 lines of text views to the current full color graphics LCD monitors. But underlying all that change, with all the technology and graphical processing power behind the changes, the truth is that PC users still use analog VGA cables. Digital cables have been on the market for the good part of the last 20 years, but there have not been a push for people to use them. For the most part, the users don’t know about these cables and they don’t care. For another, the CRT monitors are analog themselves.

During the past 5 years, the increase in use of LCD monitors have not been much emphasized. It is only a matter of percentages, as lately there have been more sales of notebooks compared to desktops. Notebooks use LCDs, and on their own the percentage use of LCDs on new PCs then is a lot more than that of CRT monitors.

With LCD monitors, and higher monitor resolutions, there comes a point when the regular user can now discern the quality edge and difference of digital video over analog video. Most PCs still come packaged with VGA cables, and in fact, notebooks still have VGA output, and DVI cable use is still an option. But above a threshold, which is dependent on the size of the monitor used, DVI cables offer a significant difference in quality.
