That is about the size of it. For short runs in digital, say 4 feet or so, you can get away with cabling murder because the cable is shorter than the time of one pixel. Longer runs will often cause breakups because the echos are sufficiently time displaced to be thought of as a status change for the next pixel when it really isn't. That will cause the pixel to the right of the edge of an object to flicker or some such error. > What would you vote for if the quality of the analog and digital > cables would be both of high quality, properly terminated? Digital. Then it is usually up to the monitor to match the requested color to a very fine match. That said, my lashup has an extension cable so the run is about 6 feet, and the analog and digital modes seem very close to identical, on this monitor. I have not been able to see the difference if there is any. > (I know which i prefer on a short run from tower to lcd, which is what > made reading about all of this rather surprising.) > > Thanks, > > Daniel [...] -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
