video connections

Posted by Joe Murphy Jr on December 16, 2006 at 14:36:42:
Since the DVD player's best output will be YPbPr (component), use this connection on the player.
Does the video card have the option of sending digital video levels (16-235) to the display, as opposed to digital PC levels (0-255)? If so, I'd go with the DVI output as PC levels clip below black and peak white signals (that's a bad thing). If it doesn't, check the output from the YPbPr component connection. If it allows for below black and peak white, use that connection. If it doesn't, I would try both of the options on the video card (DVI and YPbPr component) and subjectively decide which output gives you the better picture.
