15 pin vga versus dvi connection?

I ordered a front end movie projector for my living (home theater DLP 720p projector). In addition to component, composite and s-video, it has a hdmi(DVI) and 15 pin vga input.

I have a home theater PC that has both dvi and vga output ports. I only have a VGA cable for it right now.

I know vga is analog and dvi is digital and offers "no distortion", but will I reallt see any significant difference if I upgrade to a dvi cable? The distance is about 10' to my htpc

Hi.There is no straightforward answer to your question.Digital does not always imply better image quality in the case of a video connection.There are significant differences in the way digital and analogue signals are handled that are heavily dependent upon the characteristics of the source device and the display rather than on the type of video connection .The main problem is that you never know what is going on inside consumer equipment and how the different signals are being processed,scaled,decoded, etc . This applies irrespective of whether we are dealing with pure analogue, analogue and digital ,or with pure digital.There is also the problem of equipment settings and system calibration. Improper settings would not help in producing the best results while different settings on different inputs will lead to different system response to the same signal when applied across different inputs.
