    What monitor connection do you use?

    DisplayPort. It's the next-generation interface, has packetized data allowing the port to be used for audio, and now Thunderbolt. It has (from Wikipedia) a 17.28 Gbit/sec throughput, vs Dual-Link DVI's 9.9. And as mentioned above, the connector is well-designed.
