I have an nvidia GT440 card in my computer, with a Dell 2405FPW plugged into the DVI port. Recently, our old 2005FPW found itself out of use, so I was going to use it as a 2nd monitor; however, the card has only one DVI-out in addition to one HDMI and one Displayport (these Dell monitors are too old for HDMI or Displayport). My questions:
■Will a simple HDMI- or Displayport-to-DVI adapter allow connection to the 2nd monitor? [asking a guy at Radio Shack, he said there would be significant reduction in quality; but I think he thought I meant to connect, say, a cable box to a plasma TV or some such; so if he knew his stuff, it wasn't clear to me.]
■If so, would either be a superior option than the other?
■Also, if so, would there be any difference in quality between either converted connection and the straightforward DVI-to-DVI connection?
Thanks in advance!
