What monitor connection do you use?

[LAN_deRf_HA]

just find all the overscan and 'enhancements' and turn them off on both ends. its annoying, but 99% of the time you can just set all the crap to 'off' and it works a lot better.

I rarely encounter options like that. Most monitors I've used treat HDMI as something truly different than DVI, yet stop short of offering TV level tweaking options for dealing with it.

mine has a setting specifically for HDMI, its called "AV mode" and it screws with overscan, making the screen extremely blurry. my HDTV has a 'game mode' and 'HTPC' mode, with both enabled it fixes all PC issues.


DVI of course 'just works'.

 

[HossHuge]

DVI, I have tried every cable I can think of and dvi is just the way to go imo. Quality is there, not like there's much competition..lol.. HDMI is only useful if you want to run audio and video through it.. Same quality in picture from what I'm aware of.. It's just dvi+audio..

Funny thing is half the people who think they use HDMI are actually using dvi. I think there's a bit of confusion there..
The gpus now a days offer both hdmi and dvi out. hdmi is the big one, dvi is the little one.. If you run a hdmi to dvi converter though, you are still running dvi and get no audio from it.

Grats on the new monitor btw..

My monitor has that setting, but it does nothing and there is no HDMI port

I use DVI for PC most of the time and HDMI for PS3, at times when i dont use my PS3 i occasionally use the HDMI on my PC, so as i stated i mainly use DVI for my PC


Oh my Dell SX2210 has 3 inputs and (audio in and out for the HDMI sound) so it has HDMI, DVI & VGA

HDMI plugged to PS3

DVI plugged to PC

VGA plugged to no thing most of the time (Occasionally used)


Picture quality to all of the inputs are superb no thing to complain about, resolution run at max on all inputs 1920 x 1080, unless i specify otherwise but why would i run lower res anyway

Ummm... DVI is the big one, HDMI is the small one.

miniHDMI all the way for me - no annoying screw pins like DVI and VGA. I use miniHDMI to HDMI on all 3 of my ASUS VW266H and I have none of problems reported in this thread. I can only think of two reasons I have no problems: I am using NVIDIA cards whereas all the reported problems in this thread come from AMD cards, and the monitors have the correct EDID profiles.

 

[silapakorn]

Kinda have to use Display Port. See, I use a 120hz monitor with no dvi port, while hdmi is limited to an older standard. Besides, the only cable that comes with this monitor is DP.

HDMI tends to work well on monitors (except the one bug with AMD setting overscan to 15%, but that really is a 10 second fix), its with TV's that HDMI tends to go crap, if its not a big name brand.

DVI+VGA. DVI for new computers and VGA for old. KVM manages it.

 

[powerspec]

I picked HDMI, but with my 4 screens, 2xHDMI, 1xDVI, and 1xVGA.

because of EDID Standards not being fully passed on not known names

3 Known Monitor companies before dell and apple became a player were

Samsung, View Sonic, NEC

DVI

i have bugs with resolution + low frps on HDMI ....

Example .... Prototype with HDMI lag + 100% gpu using and with DVI works perfect ~.~ 56% gpu use

 

[TheLostSwede]

Mini DP to DVI (via passive adapter) and DVI on my main system, DVI on the GF's system and DVI on my test rig.

Wish I had a display with native DP, but I guess that'll be the next one...

HDMI is a consumer electronics interface and should never have been used on computer displays imho...

With standard resolution I didn't spot any visual difference between dvi and vga so always use vga only.
