HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA, Or DVI For Connecting Monitor To PC

Linkin506 · Mar 15, 2015

Hey guys, I have been working on getting my list of parts together for my first gaming PC, here is the list of parts, including the monitor I am planning on getting if it helps you answer my question: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Linkin506/saved/hrMD4D I have been looking up ways to connect your PC to your monitor for the best look and performance, and found four ways to connect the monitor to the PC, if there are any other ways, please tell me. Anyway, which way would be the best to connect, HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA, Or DVI? Thanks guys!

DisplayPort is the newest standard. DisplayPort, HDMI and DVI are all digital interfaces. VGA is an analog interface and is the worst choice. If available I would use DisplayPort.

ok thank you, but it turns out the monitor I have in my list only has 1 HDMI, 1 VGA and 1 DVI, so I am guessing I should go with HDMI? Also, what is the difference between HDMI and DisplayPort? What makes one better than the other, and what other features do they have? Thank you, all of your help means a lot!

HDMI will have audio, DVI won't. Otherwise they are pretty interchangeable.
