HI! i just bought my CPU yesterday and my graphic card has HDMI port and Display port (also optical connection for audio). I also have DELL 2408WFP at home with DisplayPort Cable already include. I also have 2.1 Speaker with optical Audio connection (but does not have HDMI I think). Now my question is, do i still need to buy HDMI cable for a more clearer FULL HD quality video, or is DisplayPort cable enough already? Is there alot difference if I also buy the optical cable for my sound?

so you mean there is no difference if I use DisplayPort Cable compare to HDMI cable for my current set-up? Is there no advantage of HDMI cable over DisplayPort cable if I have the same port on my CPU?

Guys, follow-up on my question about. Is there a big difference between DisplayPort Cable and HDMI cable? Coz I only have display port cable as of now (bundled when I buy DELL 2408WFP). What is the advantage if I use HDMI cable instead of DisplayPort cable

I thought I answered already. No differences. They are competing technologies. Display Port shd be fine.

Ok...then no need to buy Monster HDMI cable lah...Coz my friend suggested me to buy. If there's no difference, there's no need to buy. Thanks anfieldude!
