Connnecting a pc to a monitor. PC has HDMI & Display port. Monitor has VGA and DVI. What do you do?
On a simple office desktop - not worried about high quality graphics / redraw refresh, etc...
The new dell optiplex 3050 has DisplayPort & HDMI connectors.
The monitor has VGA (the 15 pin 3 row blue connector) and DVI (the white connector).
Thoughts on which connector to use at each end? I would think either at each end is fine for typing word docs, speadsheets, the occassional funny video on youtube.
I guess it comes down to the ease / cost of the cable to convert from 1 end (DisplayPort or HDMI) to (VGA or DVI).

A better use of that money would be to put it toward buying an inexpensive LCD display that supports at least HDMI. They're available for well under $100 -- for refurbished units, in some cases under $50 delivered.
