1 PC 1 Monitor 3 Cables
You are currently reading a thread in /wsr/ - Worksafe Requests
Hello, I recently bought a monitor that came with a VGA, a DP and an HDMI cable. So the instructions are like:
1. Connect the VGA cable to your unit.
2. Connect the DP cable to your unit.
3. Connect the HDMI cable to your unit.
My question is: Will I get a better picture/performance by connecting more than one cable? Isn't just HDMI enough?
Google wouldn't help as it only showed results about connecting 2 screens on one pc or 2 pcs on one screen or some crap. Pic kinda unrelated.

One of either DP or HDMI is fine.
They're both digital, so neither will make your zeros zeroier or your ones oneier.

There's no discernible benefit to connecting more than one at a time, especially since most monitors can only display one source at a time, and when they can display multiple sources it's done using some type of windowing. Just connect with DP or HDMI and you'll be good. Ignore VGA unless you're connecting to an older laptop or something where it's the only option.
Great, thanks for the answers :) I will go with the DP cable in this case.
