Monitor/Video Card Question
John
I just purchased a HD PC Monitor and it doesn't have any cables to
plug into the video card.
I already have a DVI cable from my broken monitor and can use that,
but I did notice that my video card has a HD to DVI adapter that I can
use. Would it be worth it to purchase a HD cable to plug from my
monitor into the adapter? Meaning can I get HD without the HD adapter
and just the DVI cable?
Will it look much way better if I use the HD adapter?
I run my sound through my sound card and external speakers and not the
monitor speakers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

The only advantage I know in using HDMI over DVI is that HDMI *can*
carry the audio lines as well. I don't know if that's the case for you,
or if that's even advantageous. My sense is that using the DVI cable
will be sufficient.

That's *not* a computer monitor. That's your problem. Computer monitors
haven't had speakers for decades. Not since EGA was replaced by VGA. You
can use it, but you may have problems with higher resolutions - over
1000 pixels across. which is pretty low for computer monitors. It's
quite possible to blow your monitor by using resolutions it doesn't
support as well.

Actually, a lot of newer good brands/models have cheap speaks on the
side of the LCD.
They speakers are no good, but some still put them there on HD LCD's.

This would have been an appropriate place to define what kind/s of
connections the monitor and video card have. The most commmon is VGA.
I have never purchased a monitor which did not come with a VGA cable.
Perhaps you failed to remark that the monitor *did* come with a cable;
and perhaps you also failed to remark that you have a cable, it just
doesn't match your video card.
Study the following wiki articles.

When you come back, tell us exactly what monitor you have and exactly
what vid card you have. Brand and modelno.

DVI even allows higher resolution/pixels than hdmi is made for.

The hdmi cable may be thinner.

Use the dvi cable, in particular since they charge 3d-fantasy fees for the
hdmi cables.

Nonsence. A simple web search can not disproove that point. Computers
sound cards require powered speakers and/or a preamp for the sound to be
heard. Completely different than a TV set.

This here Viglen TFT monitor I'm staring at has built-in stereo speakers.
I use them connected to the sound card on my secondary machine on this KVM.

Where do you get this stuff?
In easy reach of where I sit I have a HP2009M, and a Viewsonic 2323wm
both of which have built in speakers and both of which are computer
monitors.

What about this item:

If not, what are the *major* differences between it and a true computer

So far I see that John indicates his monitor (computer or otherwise) has
DVI and HD (presumably HDMI) ports. Have you seen some other more
specific description?
At any rate, is the inclusion of a VGA connector one of those *major*
differences that you've failed to elucidate?
What about this device:
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001209
It has no VGA connector. TV, computer monitor, or something else?

It's obvious you haven't been around some of the new LCD offerings.
I just brought ans ASUS VH222 H-p.
Onboard hidden (behind the screen) speakers, DB15 VGA in, DVIin, HDmi
In. Speakers are great in mid and high end, just lacking in base.
LSC monitors don't have the over-res/overscan issue, they don't blow up,
the screen just acts weird. Depending on the model., it may downconvert
the signal to a useable resolution.

That's my exact monitor! And ALL of the above work excellently. The
only thing lacking is a dedicated subwoofer to round out the package.

My monitor is either an LG L222WT or an Olevia 32" HDTV with VGA and
audio inputs among HDMI, composite, component and a zillion other inputs.
I use it on this Toshiba 1905 laptop with linux on it. My eyes ain't that
great these days and it's perfect for bigger fonts than the 4:3 screen on
the laptop. I use the LG L222WT on my Win 7 desktop which is set to
1440x900 (same aspect ratio as the native 1680x1050.) Not to easy to see
for me reclining back in my chair at that high of a resolution. I have
the Olevia setup with a sub woofer, the sound from the built in speakers
is very thin without it but they do provide great stereo spatialization.

And it displays the *exact* model of said monitor in device manager and
autodetects it as such when you remove it? The examples I've seen so far
have top resolutions around 1280x1024. That's low for current monitors
and video cards. Barely above HDTV.

Yup, IDs as an ASUS VH222. Autodetects just fine.
Read the specs at http://usa.asus.com/Search.aspx?SearchKey=VH222H-P
