hello i have my pc hooked up to my lcd tv through a dvi to vga cable (no volume as i already have speakers on my computer) its mirrored so that i can just click legal downloaded video on my pc and watch it on my lcd tv on the wall (full hd) anyway if i had high definition video on my computer would this display as high def on my lcd through the vga cable

if i had high definition video on my computer would this display as high def on my lcd through the vga cable You'd have to read your video adapter's specs. If the TV out is full spec of the TV then it should display as HD. "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

So what you are using now is a cable that has a DVI connector on one end and a VGA connector on the other. The DVI end plugs into your computer, and the VGA plugs into the TV. Is that correct? If so, you won't be getting HD video. Your TV should have a DVI input on it or a HDMI input. If it has a DVI input, just use a regular DVI cable to connect your computer and TV. If it has a HDMI input, sue a DVI to HDMI cable. Either of this option will provide HD video. -Ryan Adams Free Computer Tips and more:http://RyanTAdams.com Paid Tech Support: Black Diamond

I cant use a dvi to hdmi as i only have one hdmi on the tv and it is used for upscale dvd player or ps3 what i basically mean is if my son sends me a home video in hd (as he has a hd video camera) will it show as hd on my tv through the dvi from graphics card to the vga of my hd tv if not i can get him to send it on normal dvd and save filesize

Anything you can view/play on your computer will display on your TV using the DVI-VGA cable. It however may not appear as nice as if you used a DVI-HDMI cable. -Ryan Adams Free Computer Tips and more:http://RyanTAdams.com Paid Tech Support: Black Diamond
