I have no experience of the quality of these converters, but performing a digital=>analog conversion, just to have the monitor perform an analog=>digital conversion is hardly going to improve performance. HDMI=>DVI converters are inexpensive, because they are a simple pin for pin connection between 2 different connectors. | |
