Does the HDMI → DVI cable blur the computer image?

There's a new notebook with DP and HDMI output. The monitor only has DVI.

Both still have VGA, but that's not clear.

Question: is the monitor image blurred by converting HDMI to DVI than directly DVI to DVI from an alternative notebook?

Usually you shouldn't notice any difference. But don't use an older laptop just to connect your screen. Because new used screens are available from 60 euro

Thank you. I have no say in the selection of devices.

New company notebook and old company monitor.

Transmission protocol is identical, only a mechanical adapter is required. With HDMI, audio and other information can also be transmitted, which is not possible with DVI.
