    Display Port

    Ok this is something a bit new to me, I just bought a new monitor for my wife.
    27inch Asus. It has display port, hdmi and of course the VGA. Not knowing what display port was exactly, I searched and found its the newest and seemingly best way to connect your monitor. Alas her video card an evga 670 gtx doesnt have a display port connection.

    My questions, does anyone have and use Display Port, is it that much better than Hdmi in clarity ? If you used display port does it carry Sound as well like HDMI or do you have to connect sound cables.

    Yes. No.

    For work I have an ASUS N550J with HDMI and Display ports. For a time I had two Dell P2012Hs attached, one via HDMI and the other via Display Port, with no real noticeable difference. I switched to an HP 2311x for higher resolution and tried both HDMI and Display ports and saw no difference.

    My monitors don't have sound so can't speak to that.

    Ok thank you, that answered my question. Display Port seems to be just another new connection. Other than alleviating sound cable HDMI never was a big improvement over DVI to me.
