monitor question

Post by DeusEx »

hey guys! my brother wants to buy a 1080p lcd monitor for his pc (1920x1080) and we are wondering if an HDMI cable is required to connect it to the laptop. Or can it be done with a regular dvi? His laptop doesnt have an HDMI port.

tHanks for the help =]

As long as they both have DVI he should be fine.
