I connected both from a G5 dual/ATI 9600 Pro Video card, and there isn't much of a difference.
How big a difference should there be between the two?
Thx
Dean

If by D-sub, you mean VGA, that depends on what you are looking at. Try looking at:
A) high-resolution (300+dpi), raw images without compression
B) recent games
C) DVD movies that were filmed, edited and mastered entirely in digital format (not converted from analog tape)

How can I find if my Toshiba HDTV with a DVI input can accept a DVI output signal from my PowerBook? I heard that some of the Sony TVs can't accept DVI output of a computer. I got the TV used and there are no manuals.
Thanks.

1. Plug it in & see what happens
2. Check Toshiba's website for product specs & FAQ's
