[QUOTE="Taipan, post: 193413, member: 11681"] The simple answer is "yes". The more complicated answer is.... Full HD is 1080p (1920 x 1080 pixels) and 16:9 aspect ratio. But for some odd reason (which I don't understand) PC monitors are made in 16:10 aspect ratio (1920 x 1200) - which means that you will end up with "black bars" (60 pixels high) at the top and the bottom of the screen with 1:1 pixel mapping. I have tried both VGA and DVI and cannot pick the difference - theoretically, DVI should be better (since it avoids a D to A and an A to D conversion of the video signal), but I suggest you try both and see which you prefer? HTH ... ? [/QUOTE]
