TonyRS Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 Hi folks, Just thought I would share... Still new to DCS. I originally connected my new 'self build' PC to my monitor using HDMI cable (as, I think, original setup/install required it) and since (for a month or so) I have just continued playing DCS using the HDMI Cable. However, today, I found I had a Display Port Cable in the box my monitor came in so I thought I'd give it a try. Disconnected HDMI and connected PC to Monitor using Display Port Cable; fired up PC and WOW! I find the difference incredible. Gone from what (I thought) was pretty good screen output to a vastly improved, more 'photo-realistic' screen output. Surprised by the huge improvement by just swapping from HDMI to Display Port. Just saying...

SharpeXB Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) Yeah depending on the HDMI spec DisplayPort can be higher bandwidth. You might have had an older HDMI cable because it’s possible to get the same with either one. Some monitors will take a higher bandwidth via their DP connection.
