Incorrect, VGA is analogue, so the picture quality can depend on the cable.

[Sheikah]

The chances of there being a step-up in quality are so minimal that I wouldn't worry about it.

[Paj!]

 

And went to go the Janet Cardiff & George Bures Miller exhibition, (3rd time I've seen their stuff in the last 2 years or something...Love it.) Bought a poster.

You obviously haven't used many VGA cables then.

Loads.

 

And a quick google:

 

"i was using my bog standard cable i got with my samsung monitor, i was using it on my plasma 42", i wanted a better cable for peace of mind, i spent 24 quid on a profigold vga - vga cable, never noticed any difference, other cables or more expensive cables may show an improvement, at least i have the peace of mind im not losing any pic quality."

 

Unless the cable he gets is literally made by a retard I'm sure it won't matter at all.

No it does quite a bit, especially if it isn't a shielded one. Last time I checked it was only MS and possibly Monster who offered shielded VGA cables.

Yeah, I'm pretty pleased with it.

 

I can't get over the size considering how much stuff it does.

[The fish]

I had a bit of a clothes shopping spree for Uni...

 

3 'smart' shirts for night out, etc.

2 pairs of jeans.

Pack o' 5 socks.

Trainers for gym (my halls are about a 45 second walk from the gym).

Another box that'll fit under a bead to keep stuff in.

Lunch.

 

A good day out in Luton.

[Platty]

I got some new jeans and 3 shirts.

 

I also picked up mario and sonic olympics for £15 from morrisons.

Use Primark, it all came to less than £40, my dad's lunch (for he had the money) included.

[triforce_keeper]

Ewwww Primark.

 

Some of the girls stuff is alright, but the men's......

[Dyson]

Nothing wrong with Primark. Just because the shirts don't cost £15+ and have a "River Island" label on them doesn't mean they're shit.

[Ellmeister]

No its because they are probably made by people who eat food that is worse than shit.

[ipaul]

I love these people who claim they won't shop at Primark because the low costs mean slave labour. Yes they probably do. But do you honestly think that places like Topman/River Island are much better for it? Why do you think they have a 'Fair Trade' section in Topman? If all of their clothes were 100% ethically sourced, they wouldn't need to. Nike and Gap are infamous for their use of slave labour and sweatshops, yet the cost of their goods can be astronomical. Just because you pay more doesn't mean the goods you buy are ethically sourced.
