dvi single link

I currently have my samsung 61" dlp hooked up to my pc through a cheap dvi single link cable. The picture looks damn good. But would it look better with a dvi dual link monster cable. I've read that single link can handle up to 1600 x 1200 resolutions and my tv runs at 720p. I've also heard that cable quality doesn't really make a difference because dvi is digital. So would the picture be any better with a monster cable dual link dvi. Also my video card is radeon 9800 pro all-in-wonder.

Single link has a 1920X1080 capability which is more than enough to support what you need. If HD content starts gong 1080P then a dual link might be better. Lots of people are hung up on the somewhat overpriced name brand and its all some stores carry


There are several makers of DVI cable that are equal to or better than the scary brand name and you can pocket the other half of the costs. This is just an example.

I picked up the scary brand until my RAM cable came in and there is no PQ difference . So I returned the other cable and saved $$$. If you click the link at the top of any page it brings you to an AVS member page that has discounted prices. I know there are some even less expensive out there, but they are close to me (Ground delivery in a day) and I like to support our sponsors.
