Hi All,

I just purchased a Samsung 32" with 1080p and a 120Hz refresh rate ( http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/.../LN32B640R3FXZA/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail ). I'm plugging my black MacBook into it to watch hulu and netflix movies.

My question is, will I see a much better picture if I get the apple mini-dvi to DVI adapter and plug that into an DVI->HDMI cord? Currently I'm using the apple mini-dvi to video adapter and plugging into the TV with the RCA (composite) cable.

So far it looks pretty damn good in my opinion. Does anyone know if there will be a serious quality improvement if I use the DVI->HDMI cable instead of the RCA?

Thanks!
