I've never had any problems with VGA, even with a 40" screen. It depends on the cable and on the (vga) output quality. If I connected my notebook to my TV I bet you wouldn't see any difference between VGA and HDMI. At least I don't! This video just seems exaggerated!

@SFseis This video isn't examining the difference between VGA and HDMI formats, but between our VGA to HDMI converter and our VGA to RCA converter. RCA maxes out at 480i while HDMI can get up to 1080p.

by PC to TV are you referring to using a HDMI cable directly from your graphics card to your TV set? if so, you're wrong about the qualiy, donno what you were using pal but I got a HDMI cable directly from my PC to the TV and I don't have quality that bad, its pretty clear actually.

By PC to TV converter, we mean a converter that takes the VGA output on your laptop or PC and converts that to either S-Video or Yellow Composite Video. So the quality is much less than that of HDMi. With the PC to TV converter, you get a signal of about 480i. HDMi can get you a signal from either 720P or 1080P depending on the converter.(in your case you don't need a converter since you apparently already have an HDMi output on your computer.

Problem is that you need to have HDMI on your TV to use the VGA to HDMI thing, and HDMI TV's are made to have a lot better image quality than a standard old tv set

[sewelldirect]

what you say is true, this video really only aids people who are trying to decide between going with a PC to HDMI TV solution or a regular old fashioned PC to TV (RCA composite video). Its a well known fact that HDMI is better and this video is showing exactly how much better it is.

You are either on some really good drugs, or are totally incompetent about video.

Video states the bleeding obvious! Tip: Always set the resolution to the native resolution for the display you are using. If you have multiple displays and they have different native resolutions use extend mode rather than mirror this way you can run both displays at a different resolution. Windows 7 usually detects the native resolution abs will recommend it for you. I guess macs also can detect this.
