Hey, I will be using a PS4 pro with console head to head RL series BenQ monitor ( which is a monitor that is literally built for console play) Im only looking 1080p which is fine with me because I know running anything higher will make a big difference as far as framerates, not too sure about the 1ms response. But the point is, I need both to be top notch. As my dream is to be a MLG gamer, I cannot tell which is better for me. I don't care about carrying the sound over, Im getting an asus headset that I can just plug right into the controller. SO which is better Video wise for the ps4 pro to this specific BenQ head to head monitor. Hdmi to hdmi or Hdmi to DVI? Ive heard that DVI is strictly video. But can th e ps4 pro be running simply from a Dual DVI to DVI? I need video first and only the best of it.

Thanks everyone, I could use the help

As mentioned, they are all literally the same. They carry the same digital signal but over different wiring standards. There is no difference in quality. HDMI to HDMI is the simplest solution.

DVI is not "strictly video" but if you adapt HDMI to DVI from a PS4 you may lose the audio signal if the display device doesn't show as an audio device over the DVI but again it's a moot point because there's no reason to do that.

It's pointless to use HDMI to DVI,it's all the same digital signal anyway.

I'd just use HDMI. No need to complicate things unnecessarily.

It really doesn't matter. The signal is electromagnetic which means it will travel at the speed of light through whatever cable you send it through.

Just use what cable you have. If you are concerned about quality, just buy a brand named, HDMI certified cable and not a cheap $5 generic one.
