Thats the issue in that some people do it just because its on HDMI that it will be better then just using VGA, Its a misconception really, but still one would have to convert the signal to digital (a converter box should do).Neohound wrote: You really wouldn't gain anything in quality by having a separate converter box.

Well thats what the converters are forNeohound wrote:I'm fairly sure an HDMI cable cannot carry an analogue signal.
I do the same thing with my desktop due to it having dual DVI and S-video, i use a DVI to VGA adapter just to be able to use my monitor.Neohound wrote: Though there are DVI interfaces that accept analogue and digital signals - for example, I use a VGA to DVIa lead to connect my Macbook Pro to my projector.
