grabacontroller Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 I read this article. http://news.com.com/Digital+TV+switch+set+...l?tag=nefd.lede Does this mean that all computer monitors will be digital by that year too? Is monitors in analog or digital format? How does this work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 That doesnt matter, because it is the digital signal going to the TV so the TV needs be a Digital TV to handle that. But since the computer monitor is not connected to the TV network, it does not matter wether it is digital or not. CRT monitors have analog signal. TFT monitors have digital signal.

Moderators Andavari Posted December 26, 2005 Moderators Share Posted December 26, 2005 My Dell LCD comes with analog and digital connections. I'm using the digital connection and I can't tell any difference versus using the analog connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldmannen Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 DVI is commonly used on LCD TFT monitors, it is an digital interface. Many TFT monitors have both Analog and Digital connection interface. There is a new proposed standard called DisplayPort, it is digital and can send both video and audio. But it has content-protection, which is bad. Digital interface can be more difficult to copy/record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rochip Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Incredible. DisplayPort is apparently also going to be a component of "Trusted Computing" and will be internally used in some systems so you won't have a choice as to whether you want to "participate" or not.

Eldmannen Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Yeah, I hate all this Trusted Computing, DRM and stuff. It feels like DisplayPort isnt even needed, its just something that is getting pushed forward to bring content protection. If you try to watch a movie, it can blank out/shut off the monitor. http://www.lafkon.net/tc/ (3 minute, 30 second movie about Trusted Computing) - Definitly worth to see it!
