help me decide pls

I'm probably going to buy a 6324w soon. Whats holding me off is I dunno if I should wait for hdmi or not. I currently dont have a hdtv on my own that I want to connect it to, not even a lcd monitor, so atm I really have no need for hdmi. But I will probably take the lappy places where I would want to connect it to a hdtv. Now most hdtv's has vga input so thats an option. What I'm wondering is, would there be a significant quality difference between the vga and hdmi? The vga would be connected from a short distance with a short quality cable to make sure there is as little quality loss as possible. I could also make some good use of the regular tv-out as I will also go places where I would want to connect it to a SDTV and I def wont buy a converter for a few $100 so only way I'll be able to connect to SDTV is if I order with tv-out.

Please advice me on this, having a really hard time making up my mind.

 

If the HDTV or LCD has a VGA in and you use a resolution of less then about 1600x1200 you wont notice the quality differance unless you compare it directly to a digital picture and look close and try to see it. At higher resolution it is more noticable.

 

So if I was to play HD clips, mostly 720p, maybe some 1080p I wouldnt notice a significant quality loss with vga?

 

720p is a res. of 1280x720 so it will be fine. No noticeable differance.

1080p is 1920x1080 and it might be a bit blurry in the corners. Not like it will ruin the picture. Movies will be fine but still pictures might be noticeable.

 

thanks for your quick reply, good info... still struggling with deciding thought =)
