An amazingly stupid question, but...

I've just ordered (and recieved!) a 1440p monitor. It's come with all shorts of cables- there's a HDMI cable, a cable that I'm used to seeing when plugging monitors into computers (it's blue, quite small, with a load of pins in it) and a white cable, which is unlike anything Ive seen before. It's bigger than the blue cable, it also has pins it in but only about half way along- the other half is empty except for a single solid piece of metal. There's also another HDMI cable that is like a normal HDMI cable, but is slightly slanted towards one end.

I realise this is hardly a great technical description, but does anyone know which of these cables I need to be plugging into the monitor to get the 1440p resolution? I don't know what the cables are called unfortunately- but the monitor I got was this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-043-AS and it has the cables it came with listed on the website description.

Thanks for any help!
 
The Blue Cable is VGA, its analogue so don't use that.

The White cable is DVI, depending on the number of pins and configuration it could be DVI-D or DVI-I. But both will work with digital and run 1440p i believe. (looks like its DVI-D. This means it can run digital signals like HDMI as well as analogue signals like VGA)

The slanted one sounds like displayport. This can run 1440p, but you will need an adapter from displayport to HDMI, or displayport to DVI.

HDMI is digital, so that will work fine.

So use either DVI (White one) or HDMI.

I got full 2560 x1440 out of my hdmi on my set. I think it depends on your hdmi cable and your graphics card. 1.4a capable.
