Worth buying a DVI cable?

Fenster · 14-02-2006 2:16pm #1

I just realised today that my video card has a DVI output and my monitor a DVI input. Would it be worthwhile for me to purchase a DVI cable for it?

Yes, It's sharper than VGA and a lot handier, since your screen is calibrated for u automagically.

Normally monitors with dual inputs come with both cables supplied.

Here, i just noticed we have a new flat screen monitor in work doing nothing so im thinking of taking that home to replace my crt. It also supports DVI but didn't come with the cable so ill have to buy one of those anyway.

My question (slightly off topic) is an 8ms response time decent enough for gaming?

Yeah its grand. I play HL2, BF2, trackmania and various other games on my 8ms screen - using DVI, rather than VGA.
