Monitor Inputs
« on: December 14, 2015, 09:48:08 PM »
Hi all,
Curious question... Which is the better input to use for gaming and for general use I guess. HDMI or DVI.
Input is appreciated!

I have used DVI>dsub to LCD, and now HDMI to LED, I can tell no difference overall.

Number of pixels you want to push seems to be a deciding factor but the modern vid cards are all about pushing pixels.

Displayport (not one of your choices) is the clear winner:

When 1.3 comes out with ADAPTIVE SYNC, the others will not be an option.
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.

HDMI and DVI have the same video quality.  Only difference is that HDMI also carries sound.
