| 1259914 | 2012-02-20 21:21:00 | According to the manual, the PC input is VGA. The manual for the TH-L32C30Z is here (www.panasonic.co.nz). Probably be better if you buy a cheap video card with HDMI on it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1259916 | 2012-02-20 21:45:00 | You could use that but you (probably) wont get sound. Since DVI doesnt carry audio. You'll have to connect a separate cable for sound. Whereas an HDMI cable carries video and audio | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1259917 | 2012-02-20 23:46:00 | Most of the TV's I've looked at only have a VGA in and include a 3.5mm audio in as well. DVI - HDMI generally works well if the Audio isn't an issue. I do notice the Sony TV in my lounge is a little bright over HDMI from the PC and has no PC mode setting for HDMI, whereas the 24" samsung TV I use as a monitor looks horrible on default settings and has to have the input renamed to HDMI PC to make it work right (text is all blurry and hard to read otherwise. It seems not all TV's can be set into a PC friendly mode when using HDMI as the input, when optimised for video they tend to bleed around the edges of text and white seems to be painfully bright. Out of my 3 screens guess which looks best as a PC monitor? Cheap 27" AOC monitor, 24" Samsung TV, or 46" Sony bravia..... Yep it's the cheap one, followed by the Samsung which is just as sharp but not as vibrant in the colours. Sony looks the best for movies but is only ok as a monitor due to the problems I mentioned above. If I use the VGA input it's a lot better but loses the bright colours making it not great for media centre functions. It's not as bad as it sounds, for what I use it for it's great but I wouldn't have it as a everday PC screen using HDMI. |

Whereas an HDMI cable carries video and audio My sound goes through a 30 year old Sanyo amplifier with Stereo speakers. Far better than any television speakers can output. I'm thinking that an Dvi to HDMI adapter is better, because both a digital signals, and both are HD compatible, wheras VGA is analogue an old and outdated. |
