EVGA GTX280 HDMI

Technoholic · 05-25-09, 12:47 PM

Any significant difference in between DVI and HDMI specifically for EVGA GTX 280?

I got Vizio 32" Full HD 1080P.

I tried simple search by keyword "HDMI" in GTX 200 Series forum, and don't find anything unless I didn't look in deeper...

No difference unless you plan to pass the audio over HDMI.

Does it look good on the Vizio 32" Full HD 1080P,I have a 42" Vizio Full HD 1080p and I have been tempted tp run my computer with it ,since it has all the connection I need.

Not ultra sharp, but it looks REAL REAL good. =) No problem during game play as well.

I've been running my computer on my LG 42" LCD @ 1080p, looks as sharp as a monitor.

Yeah, actually, the text like this one you're reading is actually sharp as well.

There's no interference with a digital connection. You also get a sharper display since the pixels are mapped 100% accuratly to the panel. No need for an auto adjust. Digital sound over HDMI is much cleaner than what you would get from the analog PC sound input. I have two GTX 280s in SLI and have my X-Fi connected to the primary GTX 280 for sound over HDMI. The main advantage with a digital video and sound connection is a cleaner signal.

My TV outputs a nasty crackle when the picture output isnt enabled over hdmi, Is that normal or because my TV doesn't know to switch off the sound (because its cheap).
