Need Monitor Help PLz

IM no expert at monitors and HD but im getting THISNew Samsung monitor from overclockers,it sais that it is HD optimised but (correct me if im wrong) Doesnt that reqire a HDMI cable input, as it only has DVI-D And AVG. Thank You

i beleive that through dvi u can get a fairly good image and that its not far from hd any way ,my last monitor was dvi and bl ray film looked amazing through it,there really isnt much of a difference

YH But the Monitor IS HD so it should play HD not Just DVI Quality

DVI and HDMI are both digital. They are the SAME quality image. HDMI carries audio and has HDCP. DVI does not.

So through the DVI-D Cable im Getting High Definition Picture But not High Definition Audio.

Yes, you're getting 1080p from the DVI-HDMI cable.

You're not getting any audio at all from that cable. DVI does not carry audio.

The HDMI-DVI-D Will only work if either my GPU or Monitor Supports HDMI Inputs right, But if DVI Does not carry audio then how will i hear, when that is the only cable connecting my pc and my Monitor.

Speakers would probably be a good idea.

I didn't notice that monitor only has DVI, I thought it had an HDMI input.

You can just use a DVI cable from the card to the monitor. Your card supports HDCP right? I'm assuming you want to watch blu-rays on your computer.

You plug your speakers into the sound card as usual for sound.

I Think so Heres My cardhttp://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-086-BG I wont Be watching blu-Ray On my PC,(I'll Just Hook my laptop to my TV). So Shall i Just hook my GPU To my Monitor Using Just DVI Cable then.

P.S What Does Dual Link do and can i connect that to my Monitor. Thanks For All The Help.

You should be fine with the DVI cable.

Dual link is used for very high resolutions. (2560 x 1600 and higher)
