Honestly best explanation video for this ever seen. Keep it up!
Thank you!
Fnly j
Thats why my monitor is blury because I use VGA cable old techonology don't ask 2009 monitor!Thanks for the tips because the techinisan told me that i had a strong pc but not a monitor.Great video keep it up.You also got a subscriber!!
No thats happening to the digital displays too.I upgrated about a week ago.
You got my like an sub, OK, finally someone explains cables. Been searching, hear is the info. Thanks.
I have not seen a video with better explanation on this subject, best part you are replying to each query personally. Good job
Thanks!
Excellent explanation, very clear and to the point, very helpful. Thanks
Thanks for detailing out the differences! I have two monitors and have VGA & HDMI.
I am totally subscribing to this channel. Despite his long explanation, he able to make me interested to listen to the whole video and good part it i can now make a simple judgement on what monitor I want to buy.
Thanks!
thats a great video man i've been looking for a good vid to explain the case and finally i found yours :D
Thanks man. I never understood why my monitor was blurry, turns out it's because I've been using VGA this whole time.
Im using a 1080p monitor on vga and its really sharp!
In this video, I might have exaggerated a little bit, since at 1080p, vga is still acceptable. And yes, it looks sharp, until you put a DVI/HDMI/DP monitor right next to it and see the difference. But if you don't, then vga is fine. I'm not telling you which port to use, I'm just giving you information so that you can decide for yourself. Also, thank you for the comment!
I have 1080p 50 call tv on vga and looks way better than hdmi 1080
xX_SpeedyScout_Xx Yeah, 1080p with VGA looks perfectly fine on my monitor. I see no problem with it.
really depends on cable and luck really
Excellent video. Very clear explanation. Impressive.
Thanks a lot it's awesome . The only Video that explains the different between ports in obvious simple way , using the ports itself on explaining.I was very nervous not finding one Video showing the difference between ports and their names . Then finally I found your Video and know the name ,shape &I use of the display port .
Thanks a lot 🌹🌹
haha NP.
Great job!!! I learned more about the differences in video and video connections watching your well thought out video than I ever have otherwise... And I'm no spring chicken ;)
This video is perfect. Thanks a lot AKIO
NP.
Very nice video. You got a new suscriber ;)
That's great!
DisplayPort=king
Definitely! Display port are the best!
I’m using an hdmi cause my display port cord is acting odd
But I’m going to try to fix it
Need farcry 5 at its best
This guy deserves a sub❤️
I'm gonna go with Displayport because I always seem to have problems with HDMI. For TV it's fine but for PC there always seems to be some kind of issue be it parts of the desktop go past the screen, warped image, unstable, and overall just poor optimization. DVI is great too but that's soon gonna be obsolete if it isn't already.
Kinaibhlan Same, that's why I still use vga when I have hdmi
Thank you Brother it is very Useful for me. because I Newly joined (my job) Audio Video Profession
Easy Explanation... THANKS !!!!
Awesome video. Thanks for the info!
wow... my mind is blown O.o
i learned alot of things today!
Good video very good thanks a lot !!!!
awesome, thanks
excellent video boss...really awesome.thnx.
Wonderful explanation!!! Thanks a lot
very very good video
thanks for puting this together :)
I used to use VGA on my 1080p HD monitor and the picture was crisp and clear no blur what so ever. I recently upgraded to DVI by using a DVI to HDMI adapter. I didn't see an improvement and i didn't need to upgrade but i did it because yolo.
btw i heard that the dvi-i dual link can do 4k at 30 hz
This is a great video but I don't like the fact that you presented the fact that hdmi doesn't have a locking mechanism like it's an actually a problem that people need to take into account.
thank you. its a great video by the way
than you buddy this is really helpful for me
thx very informative. i still use a vga monitor and it's almost 2018 jeus christ
akio thank you so mucth Greetings
Thank you!
I've been using hdmi to hdmi with my rx480 I've had issues with resolution and vsync and I use a 500$ 4k monitor and just discovered about display port to display port connections
Nice video thank you much!
NP
very nice vid, perfect ! , very helpful
Thank you for the comment.
1st is Display port
2nd is HDMI
3rd is DVI
Right? I mean.. The perfomance top
Yes, if you only care about pure bandwith and factor out all other things (price, physical stuff like locking mechanisms etc.) indeed DP wins, HDMI 2nd, and DVI 3rd.
Cool video! =)
lol I was using VGA on 1080p until i got a new graphics card and it didn't support VGA so I used HDMI and the difference is massive!
I always use HDMI but now I'm going to try the last one.
What about Thunderbolt?
great video, thank you!!!
Thanks!
:) :) you're welcome, keep up the great work
THANKS! helped me a lot..
Thanks for the comment!
please make more Vids!
I've got a 1080p VGA connection monitor and it doesn't look blurry at all
Great video...Thanks! I have a question. I just bought an Acer GN276HL monitor and it does not have DisplayPort but only VGA, DVI and HDMI. It is currently running at 60Hz with the HDMI connection but the specs say it can run at 144Hz. My computer does have DisplayPort. Is there a DisplayPort to HDMI connector or is my HDMI cable not 2.0? Thanks.
thats some hardcore gaming if you have to worry about pulling your hdmi out constantly
hello good day which is better quality dvi or HDMI thanks?
which will work for 1080p@144hz?
DVI/DP
wat about diaplayport?
DP=Displayport, and Displayport supports 1080p @144hz.
DVI-D
AKIO TV didn't you say DP supports up to 60Hz??? Only??
I'm planing 2 upgrade my arcade 1 up screen with a 20" monitor but I'm also putting a emtec gem box in it. should I go with a dvi 2 HDMI? I'm just looking 4 1080p.
it matters on what pc and monitor u have old monitor and pc its vga which support into while i got gaming pc now i need special thing whihc would help me to adjuts it on so i connected to another not hmdi but the other one which looks like same however now i bought monitor Asus 23.8" TUF Gaming VG24VQ1B Curved and its on display port gladly it supports and alos has severl ports too xdd,anyway it shows gbetter tha never i had seen
can you share a link with what is the best brand DisplayPort and where we can buy it ,, thank you
Which one should I use for 1440p 144hz?
HDMI 2.0 or DP. DVI won't do 144hz at that resolution.
The first snake has big head, is that a cobra?
this video is golden propz to uploader
Thanks!
my dell Optiplex 790 has a display port on it i will try it for gaming
So witch is the best
I have 1920x1080 what's better to use sir?
Can I use a display port on my xbox?
I'm deciding between a DVI-D to HDMI or a DVI-D to DisplayPort. My older 1080p monitor can only take DVI-D, so I need to know if HDMI or DisplayPort will be a better connection to my graphics card (RX 580). Any suggestions?
Well if you have a 60Hz monitor, it doesn't matter. If you happen to have some monitor with a very high refresh rate, perhaps 144 Hz, only HDMI 2.0 will support it. If your GPU has an HDMI 1.4 port, you should use DP. However, if it's HDMI 2.0, it really doesn't matter at all which one you choose.
Hi Perhaps you can help me. My TV does not have HDMI audio OUT or Optical so I can not use my soundbar through the TV using HDMI.
It does however have 3 HDMI in and AUX. How do I connect my PC and JBL soundbar to all work together no compromising sound or audio quality?
Thanks for the great review!
if the TV has a 3.5 mm audio output you can connect that to the aux input on the soundbar.
thanks I'll try that method
So i need to buy hdmi?
Hey man, my TV has a really low refresh rate and it makes it almost impossible to consistently do well at FPS'. I was looking around my house and found a monitor that supports DVI as well as VGA. Unfortunately the monitor doesn't support HDMI so I can't connect it to my Xbox One without an adapter.
Would you recommend getting an HDMI to VGA adapter or an HDMI to DVI adapter in order to have the least amount of input lag.
(The monitor is 1600x900 p and it has a 5 ms response rate)
Thanks.
Get the HDMI to DVI adapter, because DVI image quality is better, and also, an HDMI to DVI is cheaper than an HDMI to VGA one. That's because an HDMI to VGA adapter is an active device that converts the signal from analog to digital, whereas the HDMI to DVI adapter, is bascially just a passive plug, since HDMI and DVI both use a digital signal; no conversion is required.
Can i use hdmi 1.4 at 1920x1080 at 60hz
hai akio i have a litte quastion i have a aoc g2777vq gamingmonitor for my ps4 pro i also have a hdmi and displayport cable does it matter wich one to use in terms of playing games hope u can help
The PS4 pro doesn't have a DP output, which means you have to use HDMI. Also, using an HDMI to DP adapter would not make any difference here.
My resolution is 1440x900. Should I cinnect with vga or dvi.My monitor is Asus ve198t and it only supports vga and dvi.
Go with DVI if possible. Though, for that resolution, VGA is also OK.
getting a 1080p monitor, and planning to keep using active converter hdmi to vga. since it worked fine on my old 768p monitor. is this oke or do i have to spend extra on hdmi cable?
Well since you're going to use a 1080p monitor you will get a less sharp image than that you'd get using an HDMI cable. You may be using an HDMI port on the computer, but the signal then gets converted to an analog video signal which is sent through a VGA cable, so you'll get VGA performance.
While it looks sharper if you use an HDMI cable, even using a VGA cable it will still probably look better than your old monitor, but in order to fully utilise the capabilities of that shiny new screen, I highly recommend an HDMI cable.
AKIO TV thank you for your suggestion. i think im gonna use the active converter for a while, and only buy the hdmi cable if necessary. since i dont know how the screen would look like when fully utilized by hdmi, i wont be disappointed with the vga performance that will increase from current one anyways.
So... if my monitor does not use display port cable does it mean it does not have freesync?
At 5:22 there's an annotation in the video that answers your question: Freesync also works on HDMI.
I recently bought Asus VP247H 1080p 60hz monitor. ( 16:9) aspect ratio. I tried connecting HDMI cable to GTX 1060 6gb. I'm experiencing blurry effect in 1080p videos. whether I should buy a dvid to dvid cable for better experience??? Help me
Is the issue only there when playing videos? Because then the issue is probably not the cable you used.
With the same cable and pc tried connecting to 4k tv. It works fine. I think i should use dvid cable for the asus monitor
My computer has one VGA port and two DisplayPort ports. Can I use this to do dual monitors or will it just clone the first desktop?
Andrew C Depends on video card. Generally you can't use both the integrated and discrete video cards. With cheaper cards that have 3 ports you can use 2 of them.
My gpu is 1070 and I have a 144hz monitor. What do you recommend me? Dvi-d or DP?
If your monitor supports it, go with DP.
I have a 144hz monitor and my question is, Does a dvi-d dual link support 144hz? If it doesn't then which does?
Yes, DVI-dual link supports 144hz at 1080p.
Thank you so much, I"m definaly going to subscribe to you!
which one will win dvi-d or hdmi? im confused
dvi have 144hz and hdmi does olny have 60hz
jukeboxx wow thanks
DVI does 144hz, but only at 1080p resolution. At 2560x1600 it only supports 60 hz. HDMI does 1080p at 60 hz, and goes up to 4k at 30hz, and if its HDMI 2.0 it does 4k at 60 hz. It is a little bit confusing indeed.
AKIO TV thanks for the explanation , my monitor only support 1080p so i will choose dvi , thank you soooo muchh .
sorry for my bad english
if im using my ps3 and use vga converter on 720 monitor does the quality wil be reduced? @AKIO TV +AKIO TV
I think that on a 720p monitor, there won't be a very significant difference between HDMI and VGA.
I got a problem where my dvi has no signal any fix?
Connect the cable firmly to both the computer and the screen.
I have a 720p lcd (phillips 192 EL) when i used vga cable with a hdmi to vga adapter i can go upto 1080p but when i plug dvi d i can only go upto 720p
Which is better?
You can't use 1080p. Maybe in the screen settings, but in the real world your screen is 720p, so that will be the resolution. And yes, DVI-D is superior over a VGA connection.
AKIO TV why on hdmi to vga adapter connection i am able to use 1080p? But not on dvi
I don't know the details, but it could be because the video card of the computer detects the HDMI adapter, rather than the monitor itself. If the HDMI adapter tells the computer that it's 1080p compatible, the 1080p option will appear in the settings of the computer. However, as I already mentioned, if the screen is 720p, the image on the screen wil simply be 720p.
my monitor says recommended is 1280x1024 60Hz, which?
The cheapest solution you can get, that supports 1280x1024 @60Hz. Try to avoid VGA though.
I'm using a Asus VG248QE: 1080 144hz gaming monitor.
Although I'm using an Xbox One which locks it @60hz.
I play mostly Fortnite and Overwatch. Which one do I use?
The one you prefer except VGA.
AKIO TV Thanks for the response even a year after the upload, that's some quality content creator right there! I subbed :D
I've not tried DVI nor DP yet, should I and then see which one I prefer, or should I just stick to my HDMI Cable?
DVI, HDMI and DP are all digital connections, and they all have the same image quality. The only differences between them are the supported resolutions, framerates and features. Since all of them support 1080p60, all of them will give you an identical image.
What I meant by saying "the one you prefer", is the one that you might prefer because of some practical reason like price, availability or something like that. Because again, the image quality will be the same on all of them. If you've already got an HDMI cable, and it works, then just use that one.
AKIO TV Yeah, I'll stick to HDMI!
Your data was severly incomplete for the DVI port. You talked about the difference about single and dual link DVI, but you left out the more important difference: DVI-A, DVI-D or DVI-I ?
You said DI is digital, well, DVI-A is analog-only, just like VGA. Woops. And DVI-A does not have dual link either. DVI-D is digital-only and exists both single and dual link, and finally DVI-I handles both digital and analog and exists both single and dual link.
DVI-A is near-inexistant nowadays (you'll recignize it if it looks like a single-link DVI-I but with a lot of missing pins on the right side). However you need, depending on your screens and adapters, to check if your card is relying on DVI-I or DVI-D. Most recent ones start to give up DVI-I for DVI-D, which is problematic for some DVI-to-VGA adapters.
I'm aware of that. I should have explained that. It doesn't matter that much though, because what I told in the video applies to most DVI connections out there. But yes, I kind of screwed up with DVI. I did not explain it very well. When I published the video, I realised it, but nobody ever noticed or cared. This comment had to come at some point :)
Not to worry, making a video that's proper to view is difficult enough as it is (and on that you succeeeded so no problem). But i thought my comment could be useful for other readers too. ;)
I think your comment is definitely useful for lots of other readers.
my monitor broke down and will be using a vga only monitor, does it matter wich adapter use or should i get and hdmi adapter for the gpu?
If you use a vga only screen, that means the signal will have to go through a vga connection regardless of the adapter, so no, the type of adapter doesn't matter.
ive read that the adapter NEEDS to be Active,is this correct?
thnx for the answer man!
For DVI to VGA, (if it's DVI-I) a passive adapter will work. For HDMI or DVI-D you'll need an active adapter.
AKIO TV feared that much ill see if i buy the adapter or a new monitor since in my country the adapter is like the 25 percent of what a monitor cost .crazy right
what is the best port in gaming for lg 23 23mp6vhq? ty i already subbed
I don't know that specific type of screen, but if it supports DP, use it. Also, if it doesn't support DP, use HDMI or DVI.
Yup displayport
So I'm going to buy a 144hz BenQ monitor and I have pc with msi gtx 1060 and i7-7700k. Which one should i get? After i get my 144hz monitor I will use 60hz one as my 2nd monitor aka i think for streaming. As much as I have heard display port has the best quality and as u said 1 display port can use 2+ monitors. So the real question is, is there really any difference between DVI and Display port that makes me need that display port?
Well, if the resolution of those screens exceeds the max resolution of DVI, then you'll need DP. But if that's not the case, there won't be any difference in quality or refresh rate. So if you don't care about DPs other advantages (support for audio, smaller connector, multiple screens on one port, extra features etc.) DVI is fine.
There is one more thing you might want to consider: if you buy DP cables now, and at some point in the future you upgrade to let's say a 4K monitor, you can use those cables. DVI on the other hand doesn't support resolutions above 2560x1600 which means it isn't as future proof as DP.
AKIO TV ok thank you. So all i will say is that buy a 144hz benq xl2411z, but i dont want over 1920x1080 so i dont really care. So if i get the benq once i will use my other monitor aka the one o have right now aswell and mostly to look at chat on twitch. So yeah you recommend me dvi?
OK thanks :)
That benQ monitor is very nice, but it doesn't have a DP input. So your only option is DVI then. BTW, according to the BenQ website there is a DVI cable included with the screen.
Ok ty for that information. At one point i wanted to go with ASUS VG248QE because it looked better but it isnt as good for gaming as the BenQ one. And i already have benq myself so thats why i rlly want to go with it. The stand looks ugly on benq one
Question, which one is best for 1920/1080 with 144 hrz?
For your information i do not have a display port input
Then the answer is DVI.
sorry cant take this guy serious same guy tolds me to wrap my phone in foil and put in microwave to get free internet....lul
so, I have to use display port to commect 4k monitor?
HDMI and DisplayPort support 4k. So you can use HDMI or DisplayPort. Please note that HDMI 1.4 only supports 4k @30hz. That's why you'll need HDMI 2.0 or DP if you want 4k @60hz. This means both your screen and your pc need to support either HDMI 2.0 or DP.
AKIO TV thanks for quick reply.
Recently I bought a gpu asus dual geforce 1060 series. It has 2 DP.
so, I can use 4k@60hz monitor?
Yes you can.
But, what fps does display port go up to?
Displayport goes up to 240 hz at 1080p.
so will i get a buttery smooth display with hdmi 2.0? cause if display port is worth it ill wait and get that.
HDMI 2.0 And DisplayPort are both great and both of them will give you a buttery smooth display. The difference is that DP supports 8k @60Hz and that it supports some features that HDMI does not support (like Gsync). If you don't need those features and if you don't have an 8k screen, HDMI is going to be fine.
Thank you for the reply. Is g-sync that much more amazing? i mean i get a decent hdmi 2.0 tv and get a i5 6600k paired with a either a 1060 3 gig or a 1070 gtx im i going to get studdering?
You won't. Stuttering is something way more annoying than vertical tearing, which is what Gsync prevents, I think you won't experience stuttering on a 1060 or 1070. The amount of stutter is going to be the same on HDMI and DP. There could be less vertical tearing on DP though, since it supports Gsync. However, in my opinion, Gsync supported screens are very expensive and I think that for most people, Gsync is not worh the extra money.
which cable is best for (Acer Nitro VG240Ybmiix)
In what way? DP vs hdmi or actually the brand of the cable or something?
@@AKIOTV VGA vs HDMI but i dont have port on graphics card for VGA
i can use adapter if it is better
@@akaffrozen3139 haha no you should absolutely just use HDMI here.
if you dont have alot of money just get a cheap lcd monitor that has dvi input
what about 1080p and 60hertz asus monitor?
HDMI, DVI and DP will all do fine. Just pick the one that fits your situation, budget and all that.
For my xbox 360 i get great quality on HDMI
What about for 2k at 144hz?
Displayport.
can HDMI increase fps if I switch to from previous versions?
Technically yes.
AKIO TV by how much if I switch from VGA to HDMI?
That depends on the resolution.
can i run vga monitor from displayport?
Yes you can, but displayport doesn't support the native VGA signal, so you'll have to buy an active adapter. (active means that there's an actual conversion system inside which converts the digital DP signal to an analog VGA signal.)
Ty ;)
Can i use vga and hdmi?
Lord slayer2000q Yes, you can use both HDMI and VGA together.
Does dvi support 2560x1440 at 100hz?
I don't think DVI can do that. Go with DP if you can.
AKIO TV The monitor I'm looking at only has DVI. If I use an HDMI to DVI or DP to DVI cable does it change the capabilities
You've got a monitor that does 2560x1440 and ONLY has a DVI input? Because almost all modern screens have HDMI/DP inputs as well, especially at high resolutions like that.
(DVI can do it at 60hz though)
Also, the moment you use some kind of DVI adapter, you get the max bandwidth of DVI, which means you get no improvement over using a DVI cable.
Got it. I was looking at the QNIX QX2710 which is 1440p and overlclocks to 110hz and reviews say it's stable at 110hz at 1440p, which doesn't make sense if it's only DVI.
That monitor has a DVI-D (Dual-Link) that supports up to 1080p at 144Hz
i have a monitor with 144hz and a resolution of 1920x1080 should i use hdmi or hdmi?
hdmi or hdmi?
AKIO TV oups i'm sorry xD hdmi or dvi-i
DVI (if it's dual link on both the screen and the pc) supports 144hz. HDMI supports 144hz as well, but only if it's HDMI 2.0. So your monitor and your pc should support HDMI 2.0 if you want to get 144hz over HDMI. If that's the case, I'd use HDMI. But also, it depends on your personal preference.
DVI lags to shit, hdmi fixed the lag , yet it can't go to 144hz
