Default Blue, white, and HDMI cables for a 23-inch diagonal monitor

You can then decide, which cable is cheaper, between DVI and HDMI,
as electrically they could work with a single lane.


If that's the choice then I'll get HDMI since I might need it in the
future. The price of the cable isn't an issue I care about. I just want to
choose the right cable type since the GeForce 210 and Flatron E2341 have 3
choices.

It's probably a Geforce 210.


You are right. I must have transposed the letters.
I checked GPU-Z again where it's a GeForce 210 as you said.

The two digital standards tend
to keep their quality (with short cable, good quality cable).


I was thinking six feet or maybe ten feet as four is too short I think.

The desktop will sit on the floor to the side of the monitor where the
cable has to snake around the desk a bit to get to the monitor down below.

The review here seems to be claiming it is HDMI 1.3a, and has
8 channel LPCM audio over HDMI capability.


I think what you're saying is that the hdmi will carry the audio to the
headphone jack of the LG Flatron E2341 monitor but the DVI will not?

With that out of the way, you can use either the DVI or HDMI.


Thank you for that research where both will work.
Did I correctly read you that the DVI does not carry the audio?

I think from what you wrote, I'll buy a 6 or 10 foot hdmi cable where the
main difference is only that the hdmi carries audio?

My main confusion is that I think you said the dvi has slightly better
resolution under some circumstances? But I am just using it for normal
things where the basic good resolution should be ok for me.
