I am at present connecting my computer to my monitor using DVI but I am going to buy a bigger and better monitor.
Should I look at getting a monitor with an HDMI input or will it not make any difference to what I see in quality or clarity on the monitor.
The graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 4550 with a HDMI and DVI output.

Depending on size HDMI would actually be pretty restrictive as you're limited to High Definition resolutions only and not any other resolutions. HDMI is only useful when connecting computer/laptop to a TV or using a monitor as a TV. If it's straightforward computer to monitor then ignore it as computer graphics already can superscede it."She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"

Makes no difference whatsoever. VGA is as good as DVI is as good as HDMI. No doubt the pedants will now come on and bluster and wail but the truth of the matter is that hardly anyone will be able to tell the difference.0

You can easily tell the difference if you put the monitors side by side. Especially VGA it's the least good.0
