Thank you, Graeme, that's really excellent information, and I appreciate you contributing it. I'm especially interested to learn that Display Port can be adapted to connect to a VGA monitor, as I fear that my friend who is getting a new Dell PC might have an older VGA monitor. I already know that the new PC is going to way outperform the video she has, but I'm having trouble getting her to let me get her a new display.

Googling shows there are adapters available: Display port to VGA - Google Search[^]

I used to work for a company that designed graphics adaptors, I thought DVI was the HP Digital Graphics standard they developed with some others, that became HDMI once the bundling of Audio signals were completed with the timing, to avoid the issues that plagued early DVD players with some units played the Audio out of time (a good drinking game in my student days!). I am pretty sure there won't be a visible difference, also I think there is at times too much emphasis put on cable quality. Like the HiFi speaker cables, you think there is a difference, that is all.

I just purchased a new ASUS PA279CRV monitor
I do not have a second monitor to test this
the manual says you can daisy chain to another monitor
and do picture in picture on one screen
It dose not support Windows 7 but I am using the drivers from my ASUS PA249
My graphics card forces me to use HDMI
price $414.00 free shipping from ASUS

My graphics card has both types of interface, and do my monitors. I'm just curious about whether there is any benefit to switching from HDMI to Display Port.

We still have a hardware section? Who knew? 
Yeah, the Lounge has indeed lost much of its former charm. Chatting with Nish in Trivandrum all night via his 1 kbps dialup connection stands tall in my fond memories! And we used to share all sorts of useful information around the world among the regular members. It's nice to see some of them still around, though, which makes it worth the time to stop by once in a while!

I did a comparison or may have seen this statement in a ASUS pdf about the
ASUS PA279CRV "the HDMI connection provides higher graphic display than Display Port"
I might have posted something in the Hardware Section with a question

Thanks for that tidbit! I may just have to try it, since cables are so cheap.

Sometimes I'm perusing development subreddits and I get a little depressed by what i find. As an example, recently someone asked if there was a library that could drive 8 stepper motors at a time. The answer is virtually any C++ library can if you create 8 instances, but they wanted something that would handle making all the motors operate in tandem somehow, and ummm no. you have to code it yourself. Cooperatively thread everything in a master loop, use a state machine. Back when I learned to code solving problems like this meant you were a coder. Now it seems like people just expect that there's a library that will solve whatever problem they're after solving. What are you even doing? Are you coding or are you just gluing things you don't understand together?
Edit: Guy responded to tell me I was incorrect. He's still looking for that magic library.
And then i log out of reddit for a week.
Am I just getting old and crotchety? Was it always like this and I just didn't notice? Has the Internet just made it more apparent?
