Monitor question

Hi, have a full HD monitor with DVI and VGA input.

With my desktop I use DVI to DVI - nice and sharp.

My laptop has VGA out, so VGA to VGA turns out to be a little less sharp.

1) Would a VGA to DVI adapter improve the sharpness?
2) I also have HDMI output on the laptop - should I use this?

Any help appreciated
Jim

1) No, this will be same as the analog connection VGA->VGA

2) Yes, if you place an HDMI->DVI converter on monitor socket you should get sharp digital connection with HDMI cable, I do this on my setup

Thanks skidracer,

Would a DVI to HDMI cable do aswell?

I would assume so.
