What would you recommend as the best types of cables to connect devices such as PCs and laptops to the iiyama 86" TE8668MIS-B1AG Interactive Display to get the best video quality

Hi,

We have a conference/ brainstorming room with an Iiyama display mounted on a wall.

We would like to connect devices such as PCs and laptops to this Iiyama display as to allow for multiple devices to display their screen on the Iiyama display.

Here are the technical specifications of iiyama 86" TE8668MIS-B1AG Interactive Display:
https://iiyama.com/gb_en/products/prolite-te8668mis-b1ag/

I am looking for the best types of cables to connect the following devices to the Iiyama 86" TE8668MIS-B1AG Interactive Display to get the best video quality:
a. Laptop (HP 250 G6 Core i7-7500U: https://www.laptopsdirect.ie/hp-250-g6-core-i7-7500u-8gb-256gb-ssd-dvd-rw-15.6-inch-windows-10-professio-1wy37ea/version.asp)
b. PC (Microsoft Surface Studio: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/devices/surface-studio/tech-specs)
c. Sky Q Mini box
d. Blu Ray Player
e. AVR (Denon AVRX4300H: https://usa.denon.com/us/product/hometheater/receivers/avrx4300h)

Noting that:

1. The Sky Q Mini box and Blue Ray Player are already connected to the AVR.
2. It is for conference/ brainstorming room.
3. There may be visitors laptops - Windows or Mac
4. The Iiyama display is wall mounted

What would you recommend as the best types of cables to connect the above devices to the iiyama 86" TE8668MIS-B1AG Interactive Display to get the best video quality?

Thanks,
Robbie

Thank you Bembi for your informative suggestion.

There seems to be one display port and one HDMI 2 port.

I did some research and found that apparently HDMI is better for TVs and display port would be better for PCs to monitors if they support this type of connection.

The Iiyama is a display which will be connected to our Sky box therefore making it a TV/monitor.

I had planned to maybe do the following:

- Connect Surface Studio to Iiyama display via Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable
- Connect AVR to Iiyama display via HDMI 2 port and using HDMI cable, as Sky box and Blu- ray player are connected to AVR
- Connect other devices to the Iiyama display via wireless or if wired, I was thinking of using VGA cable or HDMI cables to remaining ports

Would my plan work or is there a better way to connect these devices to the Iiyama display for the best video and picture quality?

Thanks,
Robbie
