I'll keep it short and sweet.
I got a 21" Dell LCD monitor and a 44" LG HDTV. Both have HDMI and VGA inputs.
VGA or HDMI? What should I use for the monitor? What should I use for the TV?
I'm asking this as I just found my brilliant Dell monitor along with the official 360 VGA cable, tried it and it looks similar to HDMI. I've also tried comparing screenshots of VGA and HDMI outputs and they look similar to me. The only drawback with using HDMI is I have to do the AV trick, which is to video by HDMI but audio using the composite jacks of the provided AV cable. This produces some lag. I haven't tried it with the VGA and I won't be able to since the audio jacks come alongside the VGA connector.
Thanks
I also understand that HDMI is digital, but according to what I've read, it isn't necessarily better.
