Hey guys,

Just ordered one of these:

But realised it doesn't have dvi which I am used to.

Which is better hdmi or dvi?

I have speakers so don't need audio to get to the monitor.

Thanks in advance.

HDMI is fine for for 1080.

Electrically they are the same

Thanks guys, seems like 2 conflicting answers though, is dvi better for higher res?

Both are the same. No difference between HDMI and DVI quality wise on any resolution as they have the same eletrical signals.

Ok, thanks a lot.

agree they are both the same unless you want dual dvi output

as only dvi or display port can handle high res on screen

Yeah you need Dual-Link for 2560x1440+.

in answer to your question HDMI will be fine
