VGA, DVI or HDMI

paintboy131 · Apr 14, 2014

I was thinking of having a dual monitor set-up for my PC. I already have a crummy little VGA monitor but for my second one I was thinking of this: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236100
This monitor has HDMI, VGA and DVI. I know HDMI carries audio, so that's an up, but that isn't something I need (I have great speakers already.) I was wondering which cable would transfer the fastest and highest quality display.

Thanks

hdmi or dvi, it doesn't make a difference. dvi for now has higher bandwidth but on that monitor it wouldnt make any difference. just get a cheap $3 hdmi cable from newegg.

Go for HDMI or DVI, they both carry identical video signals so that isn't an issue. I would take HDMI simply because it is smaller and less annoying to deal with than DVI.

VGA is analoe and thus the slowest of the bunch. Surprised it is still around. I use DVI as this monitor doesn't have HDMI. Both DVI and HDMI are good. As to which one is faster, don't really know. I have my PS3 hooked up to a 42" HDTV by HDMI and I'm not really sure. They both are pretty fast.
