S2440L Video card. w/VGA, USB or DVI connection. Will going from DVI to HDMI via an adapter give a better pict.?

No, there is no difference in picture quality between DVI and HDMI. You won't even notice a difference (on this 24" monitor) in VGA (an analog connection), DVI (digital and/or analog), or HDMI (digital only).

You do not need to buy a video card to hook this to a monitor with only HDMI input. This computer has a displayport output. Just get a displayport to HDMI adapter or cable like this one Cable Matters Gold Plated DisplayPort to HDTV Cable 6 Feetor Cable Matters Gold Plated DisplayPort to HDMI Male to Female Adapter with Built-in Light IndicatorThat is what I purchased and it is working on my HDMI monitor as we speak.

Hello L. RobinsonBase on your question. I truly cannot answer it because; you have not provided enough information about your laptop, e.g. model or a given scenario on how you going to apply this device e.g. docking station or port replicator, if applicable. Second, upgrading a video card on a laptop is unlikely or unheard of to my knowledge; based on your question. Finally, this product, which you are inquiring about gets connected to a USB port and not a VGA port; based on your question.

Sunny-If your source has HDMI output but no display port or DVI output, just get an adapter. They are available and reasonably priced on Amazon.Jim

You do not need any adapter. The board has output connectors for vga,hdmi,and dvi. All you have to have is the appropriate cable for whatever type monitor you have.

you can use the VGA input or the M1 to component cable adapter or M1 to HDMI http://www.infocus.com/accessories/SP-HDMI-ADPT-R - its not a DVI its an M1 connector.

It is suggested you use a fully digital connection (e.g. a Mini displayport to DVI adapter) if possible to preserve image quality, as VGA will generally always have (very) minor quality loss, due to it's analog nature. Something like this is suggested instead: BlueRigger Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt) to DVI Female Adapter Cable

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.

Sounds like a defective cable. I bought a micro hdmi to hdmi cable and it works great. Not so well with a micro hdmi adapter. If it doesn't work with another cable and/or the VGA cable, then the unit is probably defective.

Hopefully you are using an HDMI to VGA, not a VGA to HDMI if you are taking the HDMI OUT to a VGA IN on the monitor. They only work one way. As far as the adapter, it's just strait wire - no issues there.

I don't think it does,mine will be arriving tomorrow,I am a great HDMI Fan and if you have a chance to utilize one I would.I use my 47" flat screen as a monitor and it has 2 HDMI ports ,but one has to go to the T.V. box.If you are worried about the adapters,I would do some research This is a big maybe,but you might try using your computer's ports,since your card in now a basic integral part of the MOBO,I think it might work???? Good Luck ,Rudy

Remove the Nvidia card, then you can hook up the HDMI connection. Or purchase a DVI to HDMI adapter and keep the Nvidia card in the computer as it is the better graphics card.

I don't know. The HDMI end goes to my computer video card, and the DVI end goes to my video projector. It works.

The S24C350HL supports standard VGA as well as HDMI inputs. The former has been standard on PC compatible computers for decades. The latter is for high res 1080p display, which I haven't tried. It only comes with a VGA cable.

I have both HDMI and VGA connections on my HDTV, but the VGA didn't work until I bought a VGA/HDMI converter box. They're not expensive (mine was $10) I have an older Dell tower that's been refurbished but didn't have the HDMI connection, so the converter box was an inexpensive way to go.
