HDMI vs VGA

By Nick Syam

A Digital HDMI cable will carry video and audio, unlike analogue, VGA-cables video only.

But things aren't simple as that nowadays when pairing computers and consumer electronics. You may think that digital is always better but VGA and HDMI connections from two laptops yielded about the same visual quality on a 40in. And you could have issues getting the computer's desktop to fill the TV's screen in either setup.

If you want to watch movie downloaded from a service that's been locked with digital rights management usage controls, you may have to use HDMI, but you can still hit unexpected snags getting a computer to accept a display.

HDMI can be finicky even without DRM hassles; an older Sony HDTV yielded an " Invalid Format" error with each of three laptop HDMI connections. So try to get HDMI work, but don't feel too bad if you have to go back to VGA
