GeForce: GTX-560
Standard Display Connectors: Two Dual Link DVI, Mini HDMI

Dell U2414H (new toy!)
Connectivity
2 HDMI(MHL) connectors
1 Mini DisplayPort
1 DisplayPort (version 1.2a)
1 DisplayPort out (MST)
1 Audio Line out (connect your speakers)
4 USB 3.0 ports - Downstream (4 at the back, 1 with battery charging)
1 USB 3.0 port - Upstream


Currently I have DisplayPort cable that comes with Dell U2414H, but no matching output cable on my graphic card. cry.gif

Since I'm going to buy a new cable/converter anyway. Want to research which cable or converter should I get to maximize their display capability? thumbup.gif

Specific naming so that I don't buy wrong cable please. notworthy.gif

Found that Displayport is superior.

I guess next step is to find Displayport to DVI converter!

pointless.

whether it's DVI, HDMI or DP - you can't tell the difference.

all are still digital signals, all will output the same.
