No. To CONVERT the signal to digital, you'd have to have a transcoder. They aren't 1" long, and they don't cost $9.00
The vga->dvi adapter rearranges the VGA pin (analog, r/g/b) to the DVI-Analog backwards compatibility pins that are available on some video cards/monitors.
The DVI standard has pins for Digital, Analog, and "dual control" information, (dvi-i dual can actually carry two different digital signals at once)
DVI-D, DVI-A, and DVI-I are their respective names

No, it doesn't.
The adapters you see out there have different kinds of DVI specifications. There is DVI-A (Analog), DVI-I (Analog & Digital), and DVI-D (Digital). Every single adapter that converts from VGA to DVI uses either DVI-A or DVI-I for analog signals. The adapters require that your monitor can accept that kind of signal.
If your monitor only accepts DVI-D, then you can't use an adapter for VGA, because the signal has to stay digital the whole way. So I guess the bottom line is to check your monitor and adapter specs to make sure it's going to work before you waste money.

a million. VGA or D-Sub: information is transferred utilising analogue alerts. it rather is gradual in reaction and backbone isn't as much as of possibilities (DVI, HDMI) 2. HDMI contains the two sound and image information in digital variety. Cool one. 3. DVI contains digital sign like HDMI and helps plenty bigger determination and extra suited reaction time. 4. DP Dispay port often used to transform between diverse ports varieties utilising adapters. in case you computer screen has DVI then you definitely might desire to apply quickly DVI-DVI for this. you additionally can use HDMI (disable Audio output from computing device) and permit your sound card do this artwork.
