HDMI vs DVI vs VGA
Osmo:
So which of these cables are the best for pc gaming/ HD video on a LCD OR an LED screen?
On my other PC I have used my HDMI cable to connect my pc to my samsung LCD. Unfortunetly I never played any games on there but I did notice the difference. The Desktop wallpaper looked more real, more vibrants and colours look fantastic. I watched some HD movies on there to with a CCCP player, it looked good. But the thing is, the menu display looked kinda weird, like a lil fuzzy, not typical fuzzy but something was different about it compared to a VGA to normal pc monitor screen.
I've got a DVI port at the back of my monitor, was wondering if i should make use of it.

If you got DVI out from your graphics and DVI in to our monitor, give it a shot.

Well, DVI and HDMI are really the same thing for image quality. Just that HDMI carries sound along with it. I wouldn't bother with VGA.
Only bother with HDMI if you have a surround sound audio system. Else there isn't too much point. DVI is just as good.

So going back to my other thread, the motherboard I buy has to have HDMI ports and DVI ports otherwise no can do right? Also why do some of the best mobos do not have hdmi ports?

Unless you're getting integrated graphics ether on the mother board or in the CPU you don't need display output connectors as your video card will supply them. With higher end mobos they assume your buying a graphics card for the computer (if you already have a separate video card, why do you need those ports on the mobo?). Hence why cheaper set ups will have DVI/VGA/etc ports on the mobo because there's already a graphics chip on the mobo (or in Intel's new i3/i5 CPUs)
Vuzedome meant graphics out of your graphics card.
