Which 32" LCD Hyundai is better quality to use as a monitor for a pc to display films, 'Hyundai A321' using the VGA connector or 'Hyundai Q321' using the DVI connector?.

For PC display I would say the Q series as DVi is better for linking to the PC.

Until the VGA cards start coming with HDMI output that is, and Im guessing thats not far away..

i would recommend q321, i have mine connected:

x360 via vga, pc via dvi

It's very easy set up for pc select 1360x768 and off you go!

Arg, you guys are making it very hard for me to save up for my new car!

Nice!

Nice pictures ThriceNightly, nice quality on counterstrike source

Looks really well suited for pc use, didnt realise how well the LCD looks as a monitor without the speakers attached.

I mainly purchased the q321 for games and dvd using x360, I'm connected via official MS vga cable and picture is amazing.

Have recently hooked up my pc via dvi and again was amazed at results. works very well for web browsing, divx playback, haven't really tried out games as i use the x360.

if i got the A series, would a HDMI > DVI converter work fine without any quality loss ?

If i remember rightly, you cant get 1-1 pixel mapping on the "A" series over HDMI, you'd be limited to using the HD resolutions if you use a dvi adaptor. Although (i dont know if anywhere still has any in stock) but the earlier version on the A321 had vga and dvi as opposed to vga and hdmi which you could do 1-1 pixel mapping on the dvi port aswell.

I've got one of the earlier versions of it (although it will be getting swapped for a new one soon) and must say for the price they are a cracking buy. The picture quality is fantastic and well worth buying.
