1356100	2013-10-15 18:14:00	I have a new PC and monitor, It is a ASUS gaming monitor and i can connect using all sorts of cables to my PC. Is HMDI the best one to use? Cheers Barry	taxboy4 (579)

Display port is fine also, basically any of the digital interfaces give comparable quality.	dugimodo (138)

Cheap ones often lead to ghosting and such at high resolutions. I suspect the video card and monitor itself also come into the equation to some extent.	Agent_24 (57)
1356104	2013-10-16 00:46:00	Please don't use VGA.	inphinity (7274)
1356105	2013-10-16 01:01:00	Please don't use VGA. So the old plug with a screw on either sides is VGA. Same type I been using for years? Sounds like hmdi is the way to go..?	taxboy4 (579)
1356106	2013-10-16 02:44:00	There's no performance difference between HDMI 1.3 and DVI-D DL at anything up to 2560x1600, so whichever you have cables for is probably the easiest answer.	inphinity (7274)
1356107	2013-10-16 06:45:00	Does the monitor have onboard audio? If so, HDMI, but otherwise DVI will work just as fine but it really comes down to what you have around. Hope this helps.	Nerdtastic (16693)
