hello friends,

I purchase a benq 1440p 27 in monitor and already own a 23 inch 1080p monitor.

My question is im going to use 2 monitos so i can play a game one 1 and watch movie on other.

What cable should i use for the 1440p. HDMI, DP, OR DVI-D

and what cable for the 1080p DVI or HDMI?


thank you very much
 
Solution
For the 1440p, use Displayport if at all possible, with Dual Link DVI being next.
For the 1080p, literally whatever as along as its not VGA.

For the 1440p screen get a HDMI cable of course.
For the second one, I recommend using as well a HDMI cable or a DVI (this depends on your GPU).
If you have 2 HDMI ports on your GPU, definitely go for 2 HDMI cables.
