Hi guys,
I just bought Dell U2311H monitor but it hasn't been delivered yet. I'm planning to use it with my laptop. As my laptop has a display port and hdmi connection, i'm a bit confused which one to use. Is it better to use DVI-HDMI cable or DP-DP cable?  Any suggestion from those who bought this monitor?  |

QUOTE(cpmboy @ Aug 22 2010, 03:24 AM) eemm...I think the DVI coz U2311H hv no HDMI except using HDMI-DVI converter [maybe la].....hvnt try it before Thanks for the reply.  Actually, i'm aware that the monitor doesnt have hdmi just display port and dvi by looking at the review site and spec. What i've been wondering is whether there's anybody using display port cable to connect their monitor to their graphic card. Is there any advantage of using it instead of DVI>HDMI cable? |

QUOTE(BeastX @ Aug 22 2010, 10:15 PM) On this monitor.... no difference between DP or HDMI/DVI..... on higher end panels (10-bit) DP will provide additional bandwidth for more colour info (12 bit per channel ++), however not many GC support this. There is display limitation (colour bit rate) on Windows too. Thanks bro fro the very clear answer. Now i have to find myself a very decent hdmi to dvi connector  . Hope the setup works. Very frustrating to work with a very small laptop screen. Sometimes need to open a few windows and have to scroll more. That's why i bought the monitor.  Cheers. |

QUOTE(BeastX @ Aug 23 2010, 12:44 PM) Curious: What notebook has DP?.... these are quite rare (but more & more are adopting) My Dell XPS 16 laptop got DP input, that's why i ask. Not sure bout other laptop, though.I just read at the link below that display port also carries audio data  . At first, i thought only hdmi carries audio data. But anyway the monitor i'm buying doesnt have speaker on it. http://support.dell.com/support/topics/glo...&doclang=en&cs= This post has been edited by razkal: Aug 23 2010, 10:21 PM |
