The reason the 350's output would be better than the setup you describe has
to do with having to de-interlace the orriginal analog signal so that a
progressive signal can be sent through the DVI. The 350 does not
de-interlace the signal, giving you an analog interlaced signal back with
little quality reduction.
Someone please correct me if I am way off here.
