CaptJackG Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I have a new monitor that is DVI and also HDMI able and my video card can also do either. Anyone know if there is a difference in monitor performance between the 2 sources? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snacko Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I think HDMI is supposed to be better, but not sure. It's what I use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I think its the same but HDMI has sound on the same cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2. Administrators Jabo Posted January 26, 2011 2. Administrators Share Posted January 26, 2011 I don't think there's a lot to choose between them Jack, both are a digital signal and are cross-compatible to an extent. Did you get a DVI lead with the monitor? If so, I'd use that and save the money on an HDMI lead. Unlike blu-ray players etc, I think you'll find an HDMI output from a graphics card does not supply the audio component (it's certainly that way on laptops).
