1/8 Would an aftermarket DVI-VGA adapter produce a better VGA signal
than the adapter that Apple includes with the Mac Mini?
\_ it doesn't have to be expensive. There are just problems with
the apple adapter. I believe that you can fix it by cutting
one or two pins, but it's been a long time since I looked into
it.
\_ Does a DVI->VGA adapter just remap pins/conductors, or does
it actually do non-trivial digital to analog conversion?
\_ It depends on if you're talking about DVI-D (digital only)
or DVI-I (which carries both digital and analog signals).
The latter is a simple pin remapping.
\_ Thanks, I just found a DVI->VGA adapter that came with one
of my video cards a couple years back. It has less pins
\_ fewer
than the one that came with my Mac Mini, and the display
quality looks better using it! -op |
