Digital Mini Monitor
Is the DB-15 port on the back of my flat-panel TV digital?

I am going to use my Samsung 46" flat-panel TV (1080p) as a monitor for my MacBook laptop and I'm not sure about something. The route I'm taking to do this is using a mini-DVI to VGA adapter on my MacBook then running VGA into the "PC" port on the back of the TV. A guy from my job tells me VGA isn't digital, it's analog. This is strange since a DB-15 port is VGA (at least I think it is) and it's on my bran-new 1080p flat-panel. I wouldn't think Samsung would mark an analog port "PC"... Anyhoo, is the DB-15 port a digital input or should I use something else? I don't know if anyone makes a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter.... Please advise, thanx.

VGA is analog.

The TV works when you use the DVI to VGA adapter, so that proves the TV uses VGA. If it was expecting DVI, it wouldn't work with that adapter.

Samsung labeled the port "PC" so you'd know it's for connecting to a computer. It might have been better if they'd used a more specific label, like "VGA".

I think the source of confusion is that your brand-new digital television uses an analog computer video connection. VGA is more than capable of handling HDTV resolution, so it's not degrading your experience. Why Samsung chose to include a VGA connector rather than DVI I can only guess. Probably a lot of computer video adapters are like mine, which can display different things on 1 DVI and 1 VGA monitor - primary display is digital and secondary is analog (not a TV, but it could be). If I attach 2 DVI monitors, they display the same thing. I think the best video adapters are more versatile, but those are less common.

Thanks for looking at our Digital Mini Monitor information.
