Do newer computers use DVI or VGA input? What's the difference?
85513
Computers rarely use VGA anymore, and only a few more use DVI. DisplayPort and HDMI are the modern video standards. That said, for the resolutions this monitor uses, you can buy an adapter and convert any DVI, DisplayPort, or HDMI out from your computer to VGA for use with this monitor no problem.

Almost all computers will have a VGA output but DVI carries a lot more information in a digital signal. If you are viewing videos you might prefer VGA because the analog signal will be a softer picture, whereas the digital DVI is better for editing because it gives you very defined pixels to work with. A good computer will have both plus HDMI.

Just what they said, VGA (D-sub), DVI-D (digital), and HDMI. If you're not up on types of connections, DVI and VGA are video only while HDMI is video and audio together. On mine, I found that the DVI connection has trouble rendering the gray and black lines on this site: https://survey.noellevitz.com/ whereas the HDMI connection does not have a problem. I need to get back in contact with ASUS about this, and possibly get a replacement. I never tried the VGA connection to see whether it has the same display issue.

Both the VGA and DVI ports are active at the same time, but the laptop will only support 2 monitors; meaning, you can have the laptop monitor and one other monitor connected at the same time or 2 external monitors connect at the same time. If you have a monitor connected to both the VGA and DVI ports the laptop monitor will not work. You can add other monitors with USB to VGA/DVI adapters if you want more than 2 displays.

It has three HDMI inputs. Most video cards come with either HDMI or DVI (which can be converted from HDMI). If converting to DVI, they will need another way to get sound to the TV or another speaker system. I did not see that it has a VGA connection, but most people do not use them now, especially on video game machines.

It has only one DVI and VGA Port. May you can think of some spiliters and connect two sources! I have not done it.

My documentation shows that it only have a VGA and DVI input, if you have a HDMI to DVI adapter or cable you can try that way.

Of course, look at the spec closer, pc input for PIP. A couple of ways to do it. Also most computers/ laptop have DVI and HDMI. And there are cable with one side is DVI and the other side is HDMI. Again there is the regular PC monitor input out for older computers/laptops.

It has VGA but no DVI. If you want to use DVI you will need an adapter. You can either use DVI to VGA or DVI to HDMI. I am using using a cable that has DVI on the end attached to my video card and HDMI on the monitor end.

dont know. I am hooked up to VGA. HP monitors are good, this may be a design anomoly.

yes, I can confirm as well. One DVI port, one VGA port. I am using both in a triple monitor setup (with one being the laptop screen).

You need a converter box which are fairly expensive. DVI are Digital and VGA are analog.

No the HDMI and DVI are digital and can work both st the same time but the VGA is analog and works alone

Although the computer itself does not have a DVI connection, you can use a VGA-to-DVI cable or an HDMI-to-DVI cable to connect the computer to the DVI connector on a monitor. I'm using an HDMI-to-DVI cable from Amazon Basics and it works with no problem.
