What is the most common way to connect a computer to a monitor?

For years the most common connector has been a VGA or DB-15 analog connector. Most laptops still use the analog connection. However, today the Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is becoming the standard. There are several styles of DVI connector. See links below for more complete explanations of these connectors.

Can you use a HDMI to dvi adapter and dvi to vga adapter to connect your ps3 from HDMI to your projector by vga?

No. HDMI to DVI uses a DVI-D or DVI-I connection and is digital, but a DVI to VGA uses a DVI-I or DVI-A and is analog. The best way to connect a PS3 to a projector is to see if the projector support component video through the VGA input using a VGA to component pigtail adapter. The projector might have even come with one. You then need to purchase a PS3 component video cable. This will allow resolutions up to 1080i (if your projector support it).


Is DVI faster than VGA on a TFT?

DVI is nothing more than a digital display interface. Just like VGA, it operates in real time and a display card that has both VGA and DVI will probably have the two synchronized so that they are exactly in time with one another. They both have the ability to operate at various frequencies and resolutions. For a given display resolution and frequency, DVI is not faster or slower than VGA.


What cable is required to connect an apple mac to a LCD TV?

Look at what output port you have. It could be DVI, Mini DVI, Micro DVI, or other. The Apple store website should help you decide. Then decide what connection to the TV you want. For RCA cables (like a playstation uses), Svideo or others, though those are the most common. I use a Mini-DVI (from my white apple Macbook, though the new aluminum ones are MicroDVI) to RCA connector, then plug an RCA cable from the connector to my TV. This only handles the video. Sound is seperate, I use a cable that plugs into my headphones jack and outputs RCA. It may be a good idea to talk to someone at your local apple store.

Can you connect both DVI and D-sub cables to the same monitor?

By D-sub, it is safe to assume that it will be a VGA connector on a high density 15 pin D connector. DVI is normally a digital video signal although it can also carry analog VGA signals as well. Some monitors and projectors will be able to accept both signals as two separate inputs, others may only accept digital DVI connections. For those that accept analog on the DVI, they may also have a dedicated VGA connector as well. Better monitors will treat that as a separate input to DVI analog so the input selection should offer three separate inputs in that case. Some monitors may only have a single VGA input which may be fed from the DVI analog links and the VGA input at the same time. If this is the case. the DVI input should only be a digital feed if the VGA connector is in use. The best advice is to check the monitor's user manual and see exactly how the inputs are arranged. If it's not clear, talk to the dealer or the manufacturer. Because all monitors and projectors are designed a little differently to others, it is impossible to offer a definitive answer here.
