I have a new Asus VS238H-P 23 inch monitor that only has VGA, D-Sub, and HDMI connections in. The computer I am considering buying only has VGA and Display Port, out connections.
Which of these three connections would give me the best clarity.
1). Just use the VGA to VGA connections.
2). Buy a Display port to HDMI cable from Newegg for about $20, so I could use HDMI to HDMI
3). But a cheap video card for about $30 that has HDMI out, and install it in the computer. Then I could use HDMI to HDMI.
I am NOT into gaming etc. so I would not need an expensive video card.
Comments please, Thanks Mike
