Best Type Of Cable For Computer Monitor

Best cable for your SmallHD Monitor

This cable was used to connect an HDMI monitor to the computer.

This inexpensive cable works very well between my computer and my older monitor.

I just connected my second monitor to my computer and I have to say, that this cable is a steal for the price!

This cable is just right for the short run from my computer to a second monitor used in editing.

Best cases of this type.

It's a cable and its job is simple, take the signal from the computer and display it on a monitor.

Best deal at B&H for this type of cable. No frills cable, but it gets the job done and doesn't feel cheap. I wouln't use this on the road, but it's perfect in a studio setting where it stays plugged in.

I'm not a professional photographer or graphic artist but I dabble in both fields as an advanced amateur. I have paired this monitor with a Mac Studio, 32GB RAM, 10 Core CPU, 24 Core GPU computer. I couldn't be happier with both the computer and the monitor. Up until this setup I was using the Retina 27 iMac. This setup blows that away. I read a lot about scaling issues with 32 monitors paired with Macs as well as issues with less than crisp type. I have had no issues with either of those with this monitor. I've tried all the resolution settings that the Mac Studio offers me and several of the scaling options worked well for me. The default setting of 3840X2160 resulted in icons and type being too small for my taste. I ultimately settled on 3200X1800. All the type is crisp and clear. Even a 0.1 pt. pencil line in my graphics program (Affinity Designer) when is crisp and clear at 100% as well as 3,000%. I read another reviewers problem with traveling bloom as the mouse moves across a gray or white background. I have no problems with that issue. No traveling bloom on my system. I do notice a very slight change in a white background when I move my head back and forth across the screen as the other reviewer noted. It does not bother me. I rarely move my head in that way when using the monitor so I don't consider it an issue. You may. The only real issue I have, and this seems to be a common problem when pairing anything other than an Apple monitor with an Apple computer, is the lag time when waking up the monitor and/or computer from sleep. I was used to an immediate wakeup with the iMac. This system takes at least 5 seconds to wake up. However, it's not something that would keep me from buying this monitor since I think I would have the same problem with any other external monitor that was not an Apple product. In summary, I think this is great monitor. I would buy it again and would recommend it to my family and friends.

This cable works. Nothing else to say; it's a cable. Display port is on the computer end, DVI on the monitor end.
