monitor-to-pc cable assistance requestMy Dell Optiplex is currently hooked up to a Samsung monitor with a DVI-to-VGA cable.
The Dell also has a full size DisplayPort connector in back, the Samsung has a vacant HDMI port.
While not a gamer or one who dabbles in video editing, I'm considering an HDMI-to-DisplayPort cable, in hopes of coaxing out even a smidgen more visual clarity and goodness.
Whaddya think? |

Why not just DVI to HDMI? |

If you have the cable, or can get it cheap, give it try. Depending on the hardware being used, there may not be a noticeable difference. But you won't know until you test it. |

Good question. It might have been due to my presumed naivety that DisplayPort is somehow superior to DVI. |

It technically is, but unless you're running a 4k monitor or take advantage of multi-stream transport (whether by hub or daisy-chaining), there's no perceptible difference. |
