Does a VGA to DVI Adaptor convert the signal to digital? Thanks.?

Answer:

No. To CONVERT the signal to digital, you'd enjoy to have a transcoder. They aren't 1" long, and they don't cost $9.00



The vga->dvi adapter rearrange the VGA pin (analog, r/g/b) to the DVI-Analog backwards compatibility pins that are available on some video cards/monitors.





The DVI standard has pins for Digital, Analog, and "dual control" information, (dvi-i dual can in truth carry two different digital signals at once)





DVI-D, DVI-A, and DVI-I are their respective name
no. only if your graphics card is efficient.

No, it doesn't.



The adapters you see out there enjoy different kinds of DVI specifications. There is DVI-A (Analog), DVI-I (Analog & Digital), and DVI-D (Digital). Every single adapter that converts from VGA to DVI uses any DVI-A or DVI-I for analog signals. The adapters require that your monitor can accept that description of signal.



If your monitor only accept DVI-D, then you can't use an adapter for VGA, because the signal have to stay digital the whole opening. So I guess the bottom line is to check your monitor and adapter specs to engender sure it's going to work before you misuse money.
