youthedog Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Alright, so I have a Samsung monitor (samsung smb2230hd) and the quality is perfectly fine on VGA, 1920x1080 no problem, but if I switch over using my DVI-HDMI adapter, the quality is complete shit and the scaling is off. I was wondering that if I get a video card with direct HDMI-HDMI connection, do you think the quality will be different? The quality and scaling with HDMI was fine when I switched to to 1600x900 which was under "PC" settings while the native 1920x1080 was under "HD,SD" category.

jajolt Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Yeah sounds like it, sounds like a shitty converter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jajolt Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Do you have another monitor you could try with the converter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youthedog Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Tried to test it on TV, but nothing will display :\, just the blue screen of it basically saying no signal. I'm not sure if these are the monitors faults/adapters/video cards though. Guess it's not working at all now.

jajolt Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Can't you buy a cheap HDMI cord at best buy or something and if it works you can get on with your life and if not then you can wonder what else it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bestbuy and cheap don't mix, even Radioshack was expensive for adapters. The main thing I'm worried about is since my monitor doesn't have DVI, when I get my new graphics card and use a direct HDMI connection, will it be bad quality like before?

Sounds like a converter issue to me. I had random screen flashes with a vgi to dvi adapter and that's fixed since I went HDMI.
