DVI cables
DVI monitor cables have been popular for over 20 years. They are primarily used to connect monitors to graphics cards. However, users often also use them to connect other devices such as projectors, projectors or televisions. It is worth noting that DVI cables are divided into 3 types: DVI-A, DVI-D, DVI-I. DVI-I monitor cables allow the transmission of both digital and analogue data. DVI-D connectors, on the other hand, only handle digital data, while DVI-A cables handle analogue information.
HDMI cables
HDMI cables are the most commonly used connector for the transmission of audio and video between various devices such as PCs or notebooks and TVs, monitors or projectors. This connector supports both digital and analogue data. An HDMI cable can be connected to almost any monitor on the market. They support high resolutions of up to 8K, providing excellent picture and sound quality.
VGA cables
VGA monitor cables are designed for connecting displays, such as projectors or monitors, to computers. This is especially true of older models that use this traditional analogue connector. Although digital technologies have become more popular, VGA cables are still used in many cases. They provide reliable connections in situations where newer solutions are not available.
DisplayPort cables
DisplayPort cables are used for the simultaneous transmission of video and audio. What is more, they enable bi-directional transmission. The DisplayPort connector is a standard that is evolving with technology, enabling users to benefit from increasingly higher resolutions and advanced features such as HDR. With the ability to transmit both digital and analogue signals, the DisplayPort cable provides excellent picture and sound quality and adaptability to different needs and devices.
