Monitor cable

Hi,
I'm using the BenqFP241W monitor with its included DVI cable, and sometimes get the blackout problem. I've read that this problem only occurs when using the DVI port, and I happen to have a higher quality DVI -> HDMI cable.
Would using this affect the quality of the signal, or the response times?

Thanks,
darkstroke

A 'higer quality' digital cable?

The signal will be the same regardless of if it's over DVI or HDMI.

A cable won't alter alter the screen's picture quality or response times.

Well, it's been tried. Won't display anything higher than 1920x1080-picture was more vibrant though!
Anyone know how this can be rectified?
