Go to solution Solved by Peter Vaughan Truslow,

HDMI usually runs at 60hz but most monitors can be overclocked to 75/77hz with EVGA pixel clock OC and some can go even highet over HDMI

if you use VGA at all, it is converted from digital to analog and back to digital.

D-sub is the shape of the connector, VGA is technically a Resolution and D-Sub is a family of connector, but VGA is over the D-Sub 15 pin connector.

 

the technical name of the VGA connector is DE-15

the reason most monitors can overclock o that level is that VGA traditionally runs at 75hz and the HDMI 1.0 spec allows for 1920*1200@60 but at 1080p that extra unused bandwidth allows you to push 1920*1080 up to 77hz remaining at the same pixel clock as 1200p@60

I just received this Acer S230HL and it came with a D-Sub connector and 2 HDMI ports.

 

I know this is old tech now but I wanted EMI.

 

Turns out this is the D bii model and do not have a DVI port.

 

Now I have 3 questions,

 

  1. If I use HDMI, will it run on 60Hz? Any hicups in moderate gaming?
  2. If I use a convertor at the monitor's end, will the digital signal be converted to analog and then to digital again?
  3. What's D-sub? A refined VGA?
