Which port do you use?

View Results
DVI
HDMI
DisplayPort

DisplayPort because it's the only thing my GSync monitor works with. HDMI would be okay but I love GSync.

VGA because my KVM only supports VGA and HDMI KVMs are too expensive to switch until this one breaks

What happened to VGA?

I have three monitors, 2 DVI and one VGA.
Reason is I don't have more/better options. :P

Most newer cards no longer have a VGA port, just a DVI to VGA adaptor if you're lucky.
Even back when I bought my GTX 750 ti (it released like 3 years ago) I had to buy the ASUS model cos it was the only one with a dedicated VGA port.

Yeah, I have quite a few adapters. Still need to get myself a HDMI monitor one of these days, but monitors are so damn expensive...

I honestly don't see the point upgrading from my current ones, and it's not like I have any space left on my desk for a third monitor :P
My current plan for my PC's hardware is to use it untill it breaks or I can't run any new games in it.

I have three pretty crappy monitors, to be fair. Two of them are square and have blackened spots in them, mostly salvaged for next to nothing. Me and my brother kinda collect electronics junk (he's into electronic engineering and I'm into computer components, so that's a pretty good combination to accumulate spare hardware). :P

Dead pixels can be really annoying, luckily my 5 years old samsung monitor is still working perfectly and the other one is an LG that's just around a year old (both 16:9 hence why I'm out of desk space).
I'm also kind of an old hardware accumulator, I have spare pieces from my old PCs that are not even compatible with my current rig but I don't wanna throw the away because they still work (I think, I haven't checked in years in some cases). My old CRT monitors however have all died at this point, sad because one of them was actually quite nice.

Yeah, I'm looking for a ~22" monitor. Every time I find one in the local used ads, it's either too far away or already gone.

You can get an alright money for relatively little these days, as long as you're fine with it just being a bog standard monitor with no extras. I got one for my parents for like 120€ last year, and in terms of power useage and colours looking the way they should, it's quite good. But it's a standard 1080p, 60hz monitor with no fancy syncs or similar, and it's a tad bit heavier than I would have expected it to be (not that that really matters).

I'm using both DVI & HDMI on dual monitor. The DVI cable is easy to fold. The HDMI cable is fragile.

DP for primary monitor because 1440p @ 144hz requires it. Second monitor is on DVI and then my TV is hooked up to my computer via HDMI.

Newer cards kinda force your hand with many DP connections and only one DVI and HDMI.

DVI, 'cause apparently my cheap-ass monitor doesn't have an HDMI port.

DVI
Too lazy to buy an HDMI cable
1080p
I don't think my monitor supports anything higher, and my potato PC would probably explode anyway.

Display Port because it's the only thing right now that will do 1440p @ 144Hz.

Main monitor - DP - 1440p
Secondary - DVI - 1080P
TV - HDMI - 1080p

I use DP because the main monitor supports it.
Secondary monitor only have DVI.
And I use HDMI connected to receiver and then to tv because HDMI delivers both audio and video.

HDMI 2x1080p
I have 2 monitors without DP, but HDMI and DP are the only ports my VGA has more than one of.
(Used to use DVI, but then I got a new card)

HDMI because it carries sound, my headphones' cable is too short to insert it into the pc so I have to use the monitor's port.

HDMI just because it's convenient. 1080p

DVI, because my monitor (1280x1024) has only DVI and VGA (it's 8 years old).
