How would I know?

So yeah, how would I know if the monitor I ordered comes with a display port cable? I don't see it listed here : http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824160273&_ga=1.224378651.1810959486.1455416246

So I'm guessing I'll have to order one myself?

 

Unless one came with my video card right?

Graphics cards are not supplied with cables, though monitors usually are. Many manufacturers or resellers do not list what cables come with a particular, though some do.

 

If you can view the box in a physical store, they do often list what's included inside, but not always. If you're looking to buy online your best bet is to see what comes with your monitor, and then purchase the cable afterwards if one wasn't shipped with the screen...

Comes with VGA/DVI/Audio and DP cable, so you are good to go. Also googling and checking the manufacturers page answers your question aswell.

yeah just checked my graphic card, there was a HDMi cable bundled witth it, so even if they bundle a shitty DVI cable with the monitor at least I,ll have a better option. I'll go check AOC website though, thanks for the suggestion
