There is a DVI to EVC adapter here. I thought that DVI was for Digital Signal and EVC was for Analog signals. Would I get a better image from a DVI video card and using an adapter to convert to EVC?

The DVI standard incorporates analog as well as digital signals. So, no, you aren't somehow going to get an all digital signal over EVC just by taking a signal from a DVI output. The DVI output gives both digital and analog signals.


For example, some of the video cards with dual monitor capability have only a single VGA and a single DVI connector on the card. But they include a DVI/VGA adapter so that they can be used with a dual VGA (i.e., dual analog) setup.


Also, I believe a few projectors come with a DVI input, but without a VGA input (Infocus 350?). On these projectors you can still use an analog VGA signal from the video card by using the projector's included VGA/DVI adapter. In this case, you're using the projector's DVI input, but you're still only transmitting an analog signal. DVI accommodates either.
