Benefit of using HDMI vs analog on receiver connected to PC

[Maddy07]

I try to connect my PC via the VGA video card , to a Phillips LCD . It has a scart and HDMI . The instruction manual indicates the need to purchase a DVI - HDMI what seems to be an aber , leaving the video card is VGA . Using a DVI - VGA adapter would allow it to solve the problems . I fear a conflict or a loss of signal quality (from analogue - digital ). .Can anybody know that what is the benefit of using HDMI vs analog on receiver connected to PC. Please share your view. Thanks in advance.

The HDMI standard is based on the ubiquitous computer video standard DVI . With multi-gigabit per second, it achieves no compression - and therefore without any loss of quality - the higher resolution of HDTV is 1920x1080 pixels, and this irrespective of the frequency images (24, 25, 29.97 , 30 ). The HDMI standard also opens to the public the disappearance of standard PAL, NTSC or SECAM. We now speak of 1080i , 720p , 576p , 480p, 576i, 480i , etc.

Directly inspired by computer connectivity and professional video , HDMI is not standard , but the combination of several technologies based on directly to the cable itself of USB ports, DVI and Firewire cable favorite videographers . It also incorporates the features of the DVI video encoding. But where a USB cable comes with a maximum throughput of 400 Mb / s, and a Firewire cable maximum throughput of 800 Mb/s , the HDMI can carry up to 5 Gb / s! (The maximum throughput and simultaneous 500 DVDs ! ) . With such speeds , HDMI allows all so crazy.
