why not just use the given DVI?
For HDMI cables,just pick the cheapest.Don't be conned paying hundreds for a Monster HDMI cable or some shit.
They make no difference.

i read review hdmi is better than dvi...so i thought hdmi better than dvi.
Ya i almost bought hdmi cable been sell at 1 sony shop for rm259

so better stick with dvi?

Yes,it's the exact same thing.Good thing you didn't buy the RM259 HDMI cable.

my 4 years old lg 22wtq is gettin old...need a ips panel real soon...

i wonder when the LG IPS236V will on sale in malaysia?

only in Hong Kong ?

Woohoo... look what i got today!
My dell U2311H, thanks to you guys for recommended it





I know HDMI > DVI > VGA
I got a question, my laptop supports HDMI port and VGA..
So my best option is using hdmi and convert to DVI to the monitor since the monitor does not have hdmi port...
I am still unfamiliar with the Display port, what kind of devices(new type of monitors?) support it as i've not seen this port before...

Some of the graphics card like ATI and NVidia Quadro already has Display Port, it's a revolution of DVI and the age and still strong VGA, read here to know more about this revolution.
And it's not the same as HDMI, neither will it replace but come along with HDMI. According to Wiki, major manufacturer will totally abandon DVI and VGA from 2015 so expect future graphics card with mostly HDMI and DP.

ok cool... Thanks a lot... now i get it...

if i buy dell U2311H..izzit posible connect to Full HD media player?since the LCD dont have HDMI port...

._. hdmi cable for rm 259? i have Panasonic Hdmi cable, will sell to you rm 100 if u want... haha
damm bloodsucker, u almost ripped off lol, glad u didnt buy the cable..
go to jusco or tesco, last time i saw in tesco melaka, hdmi cable, 3 meter i think? for rm 19.90 only..


Wohaa... , congrats, nice monitor, wanna trade with my ST2320L? just joking
but come to think about it, why dell make a good monitor with ugly design? i mean, look at it, the Ultrasharp, all rectangle,90 degree sharp edges, remind me about my crappy 17inch lcd bought 5 years before..
and take a look to ST series.. nicely design.. perfect to cover up all these monitor flaw...

BTW, back to your question, HDMI and DVI qualiti is almost the same for me, hook up my xbox via hdmi, and dvi.. cant spot the difference beside the HDMI come with audio.... but if u ask me about VGA, uh well.. make sure ur laptop graphic driver is ok, for me, i having some backlight flicking issue with VGA...

The ST series has a nice design? Eww... I very much prefer the industrial look for the UltraSharp series. Dull, simple and forgettable look. Makes your eyes focus more on the content than drooling on all the smooth curves of your LCD's bezel and stand. Good for keeping you alive on a FPS game.

._. drooling on smooth curve of LCD bezel and stand...
*epic*

No lah, i wont stare on my lcd just for that lol, i prefer the lcd performance than it look.
One thing i like about the ultrasharp, the illuminated power button..
i hate all the new trend in lcd monitor.. touch sensitive button... JUST GIVE ME BACK THE MECHANICAL BUTTON!

lol... yes, this design is old school but i actually prefer this one... but i like samsung's LED monitors, those design are nice and modern...

About the cables... Since no difference, it's good news for me.. i'll just get a hdmi convert to DVI.

DisplayPort > HDMI > DVI

If your GPU supports it and the cable prices are similar, I'd recommend getting the DisplayPort cable instead.

eh? care to explain why DP is superior than HDMI..
im noob in these stuff

mind share wit me y u said so? not really understand d DP>DVI
