Hello.

I want to buy new monitor for my office can't be bigger than 32 inch if even smaller is better. The monitor will be to connect 1 PC desktop, PS3 and/or 360 and must have TV AV out, etc.
But now comes my doubt question my PC hardware have onboard graphics (HDMI) and NVIDIA 8800GTS graphic card (DVI). Can connect to new monitor by HDMI using onboard and then when i want to play games on PC choose graphic card NVIDIA instead of onboard? That's all because my onboard graphics sucks lol.

Thanks.

With the physical card installed it will automatically disable the onboard, it might be worth it to upgrade your graphics card so you can use DVI and not have to worry about it. Using DVI will cause you to not be able to pass audio through, if you have external speakers this is a non-issue.

The resolution will be fine, just remember that with the DVI to HDMI connector you will not be able to output audio to the monitor like you would with a conventional HDMI port. I am not sure where newegg ships to, but if you can find the adapter somewhere else it should work just fine.

Ok my friend i got one more question. I see some LED have only HD ready (1366 x 768 resolution). If i connect using DVI-HDMI adapter i can select higher resolutions than that?
And if connecting directly HDMI to HDMI max resolution will be 1366x768 or i can select higher?

Thanks.

The highest resolution you can go is the one your monitor is rated for, so if it's saying the max resolution is 1366X768 that's as high as you can get no matter what cable you use. I would look for at least a 1920X1080 resolution display because that is the standard now and 'True HD'
