What cable should I get to connect my computer to a monitor

Gta5 · Sep 29, 2014

I'm just wondering if anyone know what type of cable I need?

Would help if you could tell us what connections you've got. VGA, DVI, HDMI

Gta5 · Sep 29, 2014

I don't really know will it maybe help if I tell you the motherboard or the graphics card

Yes, what graphics card do you have (brand and model number) and what is the brand and model number of your monitor?

Depending on WHAT you're going to use,

This is DVI

FYI:

HDMI or DVI are better, doesnt matter which one.
VGA is old analog and will be less crisp and less bright.

If your monitor only has VGA and your graphics card does not have VGA then one of those DVI ports will support a DVI-VGA adapter.

If you need quick removal then get HDMI, if not then get DVI (hdmi pulls right out while DVI uses thumb screws).

I'm pretty sure my monitor has a hdmi or a dive since it's quite a new monitor thanks though boosted1g and Paul nz

Gta5 · Sep 29, 2014

I mean dvi

Paul NZ · Sep 29, 2014

HDMI if you want sound. DVI you'll need a cable for sound
