Vooduu Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 I just bought myself this monitor.Which cable will be best for me,stick with the DVI cable it came with or go out and buy a HDMI cable?Any differences in the 2 like better picture,quality,etc. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayMeow Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 I would just stick to DVI. HDMI is good if you want to connect a console or digital cable box to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyisKing Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 dvi and hdmi is the same thing...only thing diff is hdmi passes audio as well. so as far as pic q its going to look the same Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknownuser200 Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 not true http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_devic...o_interconnects hdmi carrys more bandwidth then dvi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Publicnuisance Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 not true http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_devic...o_interconnects hdmi carrys more bandwidth then dvi Depends. Going by that list Dual-Link DVI will carry more bandwidth than HDMI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 HDMI and DVI are essentially identical (assuming you don't have a monitor with speakers). Pick one and forget about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
karnavor Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Just buy a HDMI to DVI cable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) Since the DVI cable is already included with your monitor that would be the one I used. No sense in spending money unless you have to. As has already been pointed out you would only need the HDMI if you wanted to pass through an audio signal too. In most scenarios the extra bandwidth capacity of one over the other is a moot point for most content and delivery right now.

Skugpezz Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Dvi and hdmi will output the same quality, but hdmi can do sound. Hdmi is much neater and better to handle (maybe thats my preference). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zertz Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Hdmi is much neater and better to handle (maybe thats my preference). DVI's huge connector is a PITA! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
