What kind of cable to run 1920x1200 resolution

[Jack500]

Do I need a particular kind of cable to obtain a resolution of 1920x1200 on monitor? I'll be using ASUS 6970 card and Dell U2410 monitor?

Are some better than others? Just a newbie trying to learn. Thanks.

For a short run (6-12 ft) any DVI or HDMI cable will be fine, if you want to make a longer run(30 ft) then a high quality HDMI cable would be a better choice.

hunter315,

Thank you for such a quick response! Greatly appreciate it.

NewEgg sells a cable which in the description is listed as "High Speed". http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=12-270-114&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Page=6

Is this a marketing thing or are there faster HDMI cables?

 

[hunter315]

"high speed" indicates that its a Category 2 HDMI cable, they are tested at a higher frequency and better suited for longer runs at high resolution. They are usually built with slightly better materials than Category 1 cables, but there are a lot of cables that arent marked as high speed that will do just fine as one.

I just use the DVI cable that comes with either my video card or monitor.
