DVI Adapter Wont fit in hitachi 42pd5200e

[lyndawarbis]

I recently brought a hitachi 42pd5200e and was aware it didn't have an hdmi port. I wanted to connect my computer to it which i can with a vga cable into the rgb2 port. But the quality isnt great and there a red lines on the screen when i try watching something mainly over the dark areas. I purchased a dvi adapter as i read that it would make it better quality but it doesn't fit. After doing some more googling i think i may have got the wrong one as i got a 4pin.

So what im asking is do i need a 1pin DVI D adapter? And will this solve the quality issues im having.

Thanks in advance.

What are you connecting to? Motherboard or graphics card? What model of either do you have?

Im not sure of the motherboard model. Graphics is intel G41 express chipset. I was using a VGA to DVI i just want to use the tv as a moniter.

A VGA to DVI would only work if the TV supported analog input on the DVI port. You need a digital output from the motherboard.
