There was a comment about poor resolution using VGA. Is this monitor's good resolution depending upon using HDMI?

I'm using VGA and I think the resolution is excellent. That said, I'm no expert and I've never compared it to HDMI (no cable). I went from a small 17" flatscreen VGA to this one and I'm very pleased with it.

It doesn't have the VGA port. But if you can always use the HDMI. Make sure your computer supports transmitting "sound" to the HDMI port.

No, not using HDMI. I'm hooked up with a conventional multipin connector from the comp's vidio output, and running at 1280 X 768 on the computer, which results in a very nice full screen PC image on the TV/monitor as well as an acceptable fullscreen TV image (I switch back and forth between the PC and cable frequently). By "acceptable", I mean the TV image is slightly laterally distorted at full screen, but is is not annoying to me.

That is the native resolution of this monitor, so it is what I am using after having killed my previous monitor by forcing it into a higher resolution. I watch Hulu and other streaming media on my monitor at 1920 X 1080 as well as everything else I do. This monitor looks great, and I agree with others who say they would buy this monitor again.

Just wanted to ease some concern regarding the monitor itself. (I bought this monitor so amazon showed me your question) It's input lag is rated at 09ms on Displaylag.com which is an excellent rating. The main reason why i bought this monitor. From my understanding the use of DVI or HDMI should have no real bearing on lag input. I would possibly look into the graphics settings of the game itself or make sure the drivers were installed ok.

I'm thinking defective. I used both inputs switching between DVI & VGA and both worked fine. But if the problem exists on both monitors when used as analog then you may have another issue.

it's a VGA adapter for HDMI port. HDMI is the best resolution like a TV. I'm not positive of your resolution needs but if it's high resolution then yes HDMI will be able to display it.

A DVI to VGA adapter was included in the package for this unit. I have tested it up to 1920x1080 and it works well at that resolution. Just make sure that the VGA connector is secure on both ends; as with any VGA cable, the signal can get blurry if the connector is loose. (This was particularly true for me when using the desktop's included VESA bracket to mount it to the back of my television, because space is extremely constrained behind the television and the VGA cable would sometimes get jarred loose). Be careful about your cable arrangement and you should be fine.

I used a DVI to HDMI cable and I am getting 1080p.If you video card supports it, you will get 1080p.If you use the vga connector, than maybe 720p is the max?

Please visit Dell website for owner's manual. HDMI input, I doubt it, don't think I've ever seen it. HDMI output, I tried it but it will NOT support my hi res monitors and was a huge disappointment HOWEVER the NVIDIA graphics card video outputs work GREAT! Much higher capacity than the HDMI (which was built into the motherboard).

Worked for me on similar resolution monitor, and I have second identical monitor with hdmi input. Only difference is vga adaptor does not support audio (hdmi will) - resolution is identical.

Greg:I just remembered, in the quick set up manual there is a diagram for hooking up your computer to the Samsung using an HDMI cable. This assumes you have an HDMI output on your computer. This would give you the highest quality resolution on the set ( it will still be limited to 1440 by 900 though). There is opinion out there that you would be hard pressed to tell the differnce between VGA and HDMI at that resolution. You could try both and see which looks best.

Shea,This will depend on the monitor you plan to use. As long as it is compatible with HDMI, DVI and/or VGA, you can choose any of them, though we would suggest HDMI or DVI for image quality.

Monitor comes with a DisplayPort cable. I set to 2560x1440, you'll need to have a video card capable of that resolution and having a displayport output. We found the type too small and are happily running using HDMI resolution.

I don't know. All I've used is the HDMI and USB, and have not had any issues at all. The other comment about the USB port being defective makes the most sense. I don't think VGA would deliver power -- I think that has to go through the USB connection.

That's not monitor Issur, I think you need to check display settings and also you need to check if your graphics card support this resolution or not.

I don't think this is one of their "eye care" monitors. Personally, I haven't had any flickering problems. I run all my games in 1080p and don't have any problems. I hope this helps and wish you well on your search for a good monitor.
