Novice question - if I connect my projector to a HDMI DVD player using a HDMI cable, should I expect an improvement in quality or do I need it to feed off a HDTV?
Answer
A projector and an TV are two forms of display unit. One can substitute for another. That said, a reasonable quality upconverting DVD player will output a pseudo HD image that will look somewhat better than normal DVD ... but only on an HD display. So, IF your projector is an HD model (720p or 1080p) you can directly connect an upconverting DVD player via HDMI and get a 'better" image. BUT note you will have to connect a separate audio cable (e.g. optical or coaxial digital) to a receiver and speakers to get sound. BTW, you can also watch HDTV programming on a projector if you connect up to an HD cable box or satellite receiver.

vga, hdmi or usb will give the best quality for a projector?
Baby Giant
I just bought a Epson V11H429420 VS320 XGA projector. It comes compatible with a vga cord, quick connect usb to usb, and hdmi to connect to the laptop. I haven't tested out with usb or hdmi, but I'm wondering what would give me the best quality and why? I know most people are saying hdmi online but I'm still unclear as to why.
Answer
HDMI is best because the cables are built with the best quality cable construction and it carries the highest video/audio qualities on the market and it may have additional features such as ethernet/3D.ect.
- USB is used for storing files, transferring files, or playing files when connect, it's not like hdmi or vga which can be used for video display (vga has no audio).
For video cables from best to least:
- HDMI cable: Standard speed is capable of up to 1280x720p/8-24bpp/60hz or 1920x1080i/8-24bpp/60hz. High speed is capable of up to 4096Ã2160p/36bpp/24hz or 1920Ã1200p/48bpp/60hz.
- Displayport cable: is capable of up to 2560Ã1600p/30bpp/60hz (hdmi can do that too btw), I think it is capable of up to 4096Ã2160p/36bpp/24hz or 1920Ã1200p/48bpp/60hz too.
- DVI cable: Single-Link is capable of up to 1920x1200p/24bpp/60hz or 3840x2400p/24bpp/17hz. Dual-Link is capable of up to 2560x1600p/24-48bpp/60hz or 3840x2400p/24-48bpp/33hz.
- VGA cable: is capable of up to 2048Ã1536p/24-32bpp/85hz or 2560x1024p/24-32bpp/85hz or 2800x1050p/24-32bpp/60hz or 3200x1200p/16bpp/85hz.
- Component-video cable: is capable of up to 1280x720p/8-24bpp/60hz or 1920x1080i/8-24bpp/60hz.
- Scart > (S)eparate-video > Composite-video cables: is capable of up to 720x480i/8-24bpp/60hz NTSC or 720x576i/8-24bpp/50hz PAL (no progressive scan btw, PAL > NTSC).
- (Hdmi, displayport, dvi is digital video), (Dvi, vga, component, scart, s-video, composite is analog video).
For audio cables: From best to least:
- HDMI or Displayport cables: is capable of up to 8 channels of audio and up to 24-bit-depth with up to 192,000hz sample rate at the lossless/hd compression surround sound formats.
- S/PDIF coaxial or s/pdif optical cables: is capable of up to 6 channels of audio and up to 20-bit-depth (16 or 24 optional) with up to 48,000hz sample rate at the lossy/non-hd compression surround sound formats.
- Scart or RCA R/W composite audio cables: is capable of up to 2 channels of audio and analog has maximum audio quality. RCA G/B/G/B/T/P for other channels.
- (Hdmi, displayport, s/pdif coaxial, s/pdif optical is digital audio), (scart or rca r/w or headphone jack is analog audio).
Other cables:
- Displayport to either hdmi/dvi/vga adapter cable (displayport side is male, hdmi/dvi/vga side is female = works only one way)&(dp to hdmi only has audio).
- Dvi-d single-link to hdmi cable or Dvi-a single-link to vga cable (both cables work either way)&(both cables do not carry audio).
- RCA red/white to 2.5/3.5.ect headphone jack cable (cable works both ways, only carries analog audio), (do not confuse this with a mini optical, that's digital and only works with digital for optical cables).
