Which cable

cmcintyre · 21 May 2011 at 11:17

I have a 20" samsung pebble and planning to buy radeon hd 5830. I believe it has hdmi, displayport and dvi connections. So which type of cable should i buy for best picture quality? I intend to use it for gaming.

hdmi to mini hdmi i use myself. But im sure hdmi to dvi is pretty much the same mate

HDMI or DVI are the same signal so it makes no difference. Use whichever is cheapest or you have lying around.

Personally I'd say DVI, purely as it has the screw-in connector, saves things coming loose!

nothing can possible come loose with hdmi either mate. unless you use an adaptor

I would say its down to personal preference, I myself would probably go for the HDMI to mini HDMI cable.

Saves messing about with silly screws, if you do need to remove the cable for something

Totally opposite opinions there

Use whatever cable you have, if you need to buy one then I'd use DVI personally.
