monitor cable

There are different types of monitor cables, the common ones include HDMI cables, VGA cables, DVI cables and DP cables. From the perspective of interface performance, the performance of the display interface is DP>HDMI>DVI>VGA.
1 HDMI cable
HDMI cable is a digital video/audio interface technology. It is a dedicated digital interface suitable for image transmission. It can transmit audio and video signals at the same time, with a maximum data transmission speed of 5Gbps. At the same time, there is no need to perform digital/analog or analog/digital conversion before signal transmission. HDMI can be paired with Broadband Digital Content Protection (HDCP) to prevent unauthorized copying of copyrighted audio and video content.
HDMI cables also have the following advantages:
High definition: HDMI can transmit high-definition video and audio signals, supporting higher resolution and more detailed picture quality.

Convenience: HDMI cable is easy to use and can be easily connected to various devices, such as TVs, computers, projectors, etc.

Plug and play: HDMI devices have plug-and-play characteristics. There will be automatic "negotiation" between the signal source and the display device to automatically select the most appropriate video/audio format.

High bandwidth: The HDMI interface has a higher bandwidth than other video interfaces, can transmit a larger amount of data, and supports higher frame rates and resolutions.

Simultaneous transmission of audio and video: HDMI can transmit audio and video signals simultaneously without the need to connect additional audio cables.

Good compatibility: The HDMI interface has good compatibility and can adapt to the connection needs of various devices.

2 DP cable
DP cable is a digital video interface standard developed by an alliance of PC and chip manufacturers, and standardized by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). The DP interface is free of certification and license fees. It is mainly used to connect video sources to monitors and other devices, and also supports carrying audio, USB and other forms of data. This interface is designed to replace the traditional VGA, DVI and FPD-Link (LVDS) interfaces. The interface is backwards compatible with legacy interfaces such as HDMI and DVI via active or passive adapters.
DP cable also has the following advantages:
High resolution: DP supports higher resolution and can transmit high-quality video and audio signals.

High bandwidth: The DP interface has a higher bandwidth than HDMI, can transmit a larger amount of data, and supports higher frame rates and resolutions.

Flexibility: The DP interface can flexibly adapt to the connection needs of various devices, such as computers, TVs, monitors, projectors, etc.

Security: The DP interface supports HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) technology, which can protect the copyright of digital content.

3 VGA cable
The VGA cable is an analog signal transmission cable, mainly used to connect computers, monitors and other devices. It uses a D-Sub interface, which usually has 15 pins, divided into three rows of five in each row. The VGA interface is an interface on the graphics card that outputs analog signals. Although the LCD monitor can directly receive digital signals, many low-end products use the VGA interface in order to match the VGA interface graphics card.
The VGA cable also has the following advantages:
Good compatibility: The VGA interface has good compatibility and can adapt to the connection needs of various devices.

High stability: The VGA cable uses analog signal transmission, which has higher stability than digital signals.

Affordable price: The price of VGA cable is relatively low, suitable for users with limited budget.

4 DVI cable
DVI cable is a high-definition digital video interface cable used to connect computer graphics cards, monitors and other equipment. It uses a DVI-D interface, supports digital signal transmission, and can transmit high-quality video and audio signals.
DVI cable has the following advantages:
High definition: DVI can transmit high-definition video and audio signals, supporting higher resolution and more detailed picture quality.

High-speed transmission: The DVI interface has a higher bandwidth than HDMI, can transmit a larger amount of data, and supports higher frame rates and resolutions.

Good stability: DVI cable uses digital signal transmission, which has higher stability than analog signals.

Good compatibility: The DVI interface has good compatibility and can adapt to the connection needs of various devices.
