Re: DVI vs. HDMI
said by w0g  :said by DKS :Not really. The monitor may render the signals slightly more effectively. At least that is how it appears. Yep, that's a placebo alright.. signals the same, there's no reason processing would be any different. Yet it appears sharper. The monitor I'm using is a Samsung T220HD.

Some monitors allow you to use different settings for each input. Things like image adjustment, color correction, motion enhancement, and any other 'feature' that you can toggle using the on screen display will alter the image before it is displayed on your screen. Some monitors have a 'Game Mode' that turns every filter feature off, giving you the purest image from your video card. DVI and HDMI use the same processing chips inside your monitor, so this difference that you see could be coming from the DVI input applying filters while the HDMI input is not altering the input. Likewise, video cards can have different image filters for each monitor output. Same situation there.
But the video signals that travel down the DVI and HDMI cables are electrically the same. There should be no difference between DVI and HDMI for video.
