    Hey everyone,

    I tired to do a search on this topic, but couldnt find any info. Is there a port replicator, or something that will let the W3V output video via DVI?

    Any and all help is truly appreciated!

    Thanks!

    No... you can get a rbg to dvi plug, but you're not going to get any better quality.......

    Sony has a model or two, but it's very uncommon. Certainly something we'll see more of going forward, but analog displays still own almost the entire LCD market.

    Yeah, and that's why Asus will be next....... apple, sony... humm maybe Asus is holding up all dvi applications on notebooks... who knows.

    In reality, the output it for projectors and obviously montiors.. but the rbg/vga out is certainly much more common and the only time you see a difference is on a larger, fast refresh lcd...... which is uncommon by itself..... for me, I've got that 23" widescreen with a 12mb refresh..... I can tell the difference, but even still it's not much of one.... But with that said, DVI will start to appear more in the coming year I'm sure.
