I wonder if it going through the adapter affects the image?
No, it won't change. You aren't using DVI the way we mean when we say it.
You should know, there's two types of DVI. The DVI-D and DVI-I. The DVI-D is a digital-only connection. Connecting a TFT with DVI to it will give a better picture coz everything remains digital.
Connecting the TFT to VGA means you're using analog, which loses a bit of quality because the image has to be converted twice.

The DVI-I (Integrated) has additional 5 pins. This is the integrated analog connection, so the DVI-I is in fact a hybrid connection, for both digital, and analog. The analog portion of it is just like VGA (therefore I don't understand why VGA still exists), so VGA and DVI-I's analog portion are both analog and thus identical.
