Best PC monitor connection vga or dvi or s video?

The cable required depends on the type of video connection you have on your motherboard. There are two common types of video connection on today's computers. These being VGA (Video Graphics Array) and DVI (Digital Video Interface). An older computer will probably have a VGA connection where newer computers will most likely have the DVI connection. VGA is slowly being faded out in favor of the DVI connection. In any case, the cable you will need will be either a VGA or DVI cable most commonly having a male connection on one end and a female connection on the other end. This would depend on the type of monitor and cpu that you have. commonly there are 15 pin connectors and s-video connectors but it could be any number of cables so find your cpu output and monitor input and you will find your answer.

No. DVI carries video only.

DVI is higher quality connection and uses a different style plug.

HDMI is by far the best. and S-Video is better than the VIDEO connection.

Depends on if you have a DVI compatible monitor and video card. DVI is considered better than VGA.

DVI is the video support/connection type that the computer use's. Not all computers use it though.

This monitor does support DVI outputs.

If it has the proper connection, and you have the proper cable. Usually VGA, HDMI, or DVI.

Apple's Cinema Display monitors have a standard Digital Video Interface (DVI) interface so if your PC's graphics card can support DVI then you will be able to use the monitor with your PC.

Yes there are video capture cards that support an external DVI monitor, But the whole point of a video capture card is so that the operating system can both control and use it. If you need to have the signal fee out of the PC and onto a plasma or big LCD, then you would use the PC's graphics card which would have its own DVI port.

Video cables: HDMI, DVI-D, VGA. Power cable.

it stands for digital video input.... as in its just another way for you to get stuff from a computer to a monitor

No. HDMI to DVI uses a DVI-D or DVI-I connection and is digital, but a DVI to VGA uses a DVI-I or DVI-A and is analog. The best way to connect a PS3 to a projector is to see if the projector support component video through the VGA input using a VGA to component pigtail adapter. The projector might have even come with one. You then need to purchase a PS3 component video cable. This will allow resolutions up to 1080i (if your projector support it).

An HDMI to DVI cable might be your best solution.

No it is to be connected to a TV, not a computer monitor

No, DVI cables do not carry sound. They are designed to carry just video signals, therefore you will need a separate audio connection to hear the sound. If you have an HDMI connection, then you can use this to carry the video and the sound down the same cable.

DVI stands for Digital Video Interface. It's a connection standard for televisions, projectors, and computer monitors. The DVI is a multi-pin connector, like you would use to connect a printer to a computer. It is made for carrying high-resolution video signals.

Via an DVI to HDMI adapter cable.

Most video and graphics cards today have standard DVI ports. VGA ports are slowly starting to become obsolete. To answer the question? Between 50-150$.(Would be best if you upgraded to a supported DVI monitor)

Yes. Just make sure that the connector will fit (eg both monitor and PC are VGA or DVI). a VGA monitor will work on a DVI computer through an adaptor, but a DVI monitor will not work on a VGA computer.

You will need a DVI cable. Note that DVI can be a digital signal, an analog signal or both. Look in the manuals the see which the computer and monitor support. It is normally digital, which might be referred to as DVI-D. If analog is supported, it will be called a DVI-A. A DVI connection that carries both will be called a DVI-I. If you find you have a choice, use the digital signal rather than the analog.

When you use a VGA cable coming out of the monitor, the monitor is giving out an analog signal through the VGA connection. For the monitor to give out a digital signal, you need a DVI or HDMI cable. The VGA to HDMI cord just converts the analog signal into a digital signal so it's not completely useless, however the quality will not be as good as an HDMI to HDMI or DVI to DVI or HDMI to DVI

Use a DVI cable. It's digital, so you won't get any outside interference and will enjoy a better picture.

Yes. Most PCs do not have DVI video outputs, so you will need a VGA adapter.

DVI - Digital Video interface has 29 pins
