ya i know that, i am asking using hdmi is better or dvi is better

Oh, I apologize.

I think DVI is better and more reliable.

Erick Aguilar · Feb 26, 2013

You will see no difference between HDMI and DVI. DVI is more stable in my opinion though. I don't know how to explain what I mean.. but you will not notice any difference whatsoever specially if you buy such a low end monitor as the viewsonic. That one is mostly an old LCD that was wired to use DVI but with the electrical VGA array.

so should I buy Acer

jroot · Feb 26, 2013

The primary difference between DVI and HDMI is that the HDMI cable delivers both video and audio feeds. A DVI connection only delivers the video feed, not the audio. There are some other differences, but I think thats all you must know. Basicly you won't notice a difference between them both. I also prefer DVI though, and if it's just for the price difference.

To your question about the monitors:

But before recommendations for these 2 displays are given, I'd like to ask what for you need a new monitor.

- Gaming

- Watching HD movies
- Basic office work
- etc.

Knowing this we could offer you some help by chosing a suitable monitor. Perhaps some other devices, not just those you suggested?

As mentioned by Erick Aguilar both monitors offer ''touch'' and ''3D'' features. Are you aware of that? And do you wish for those features specifically? Otherwhise you could spare some money or get a larger monitor... If you want to, of course.

I have an ''old'' acer 23inch. I love it. And my next purchase will be newer version of my monitor.
However it doesn't have 3D and pretty features, but it looks incredible. What I care for the most is what resolution it will handle natively, and it's contrast ratio (makes a huge difference in HD playback)

I do know of a secret cult of people who (whore)ship

DELL monitors. They are really great in my opinion. I'm using one right now here at work. But for the same reason.. I only see DELL products as an office utensil hahaha.. But that's just me.

ya i want it for gaming and my work. I am actually a game developer who is learning this for more than 1 year, now i want to mke 3d model games so i need a faster cpu. Ya i need the touch and 3d. i think 23" is enough for me, i am currently using 14" laptop

Ok thanks for the information.

By comparing the specifications of both products, here's wat I can tell you:

Screen resolution: both 1920x1080p
Display size: Viewsonic 21.5" / Acer 23" --> Acer +1
Display type: Viewsonic LCD / Acer LED --> Acer +1
Ports: Viewsonic DVI / Acer VGA, DVI, HDMI --> Acer +1
Audio: Viewsonic Speakers: 2 W *2 / Acer none --> Viewsonic +1
Price: couldn't find a price, sorry!
Acer 3 vs. Viewsonic 1

These are just some basic comparisons. I am no monitor-specialist, but already have used several different monitors so far. As normal user I'd say both monitors are ok, but I would go for the Acer. Acer also seems to be the more reliable brand than Viewsonic. (My opinion)

Just to be sure, let's hear what others have to say!

There's a lot of talk on Overclock.net about these Yamakasi "Catleap" monitors. I don't know which ones are good because I've never become involved in any of the threads, but it seems to me that some people over there are drooling over these things.

bobkn · Feb 26, 2013

Incidentally, the 7970 pictured has two DisplayPort connectors. That's yet another digital interface. Neither of the monitors that you list have Display Port inputs, though.

I probably wouldn't buy a touchscreen monitor unless I was planning to run Windows 8, but that's just me.

KKS21199 · Feb 27, 2013

I probably need touch screen so i can use in windows 8, and also touch i s somehow helpful in game developing with engine so i could rotate 3d model move and do more things easily

Erick Aguilar · Feb 27, 2013

If you will only need two things to use touch for, better get a surface tablet.
You'd need to find software that supports touch. And probably pay quite the sum for something among that league.

But it is -your- money.

KKS21199 · Feb 27, 2013

ya, i saw surface but i need a fast responding pc to, and if i choose touch i can use it and also i can normally use it with mouse in some places

but surface sucks, i need high specs to continue

Erick Aguilar · Feb 27, 2013

Have you even tested surface?

And what are your current computers specs right now?
As I said again. It is your money. But to ME it seems an uncessesary expense that could be rooted to a much more important component.

KKS21199 · Feb 27, 2013

i am currently using a Samsung series 3 laptop, with amd 1.4ghz E1 and 8gb ddr3 ram,
the system i am going to buy is listed in my system specs, I am buying it after my exams next month,

http://www.microsoft.com/Surface/en-US/surface-with-windows-8-pro/specifications

everything is low including graphics card, buying sirface i could only enjoy touching it and taking it out, and in my country is nearly 4000+ but the computer i am going to buy is going to be more than that but more cooler

Erick Aguilar · Feb 27, 2013

That -is- a nice system.
What do you do for a living?

KKS21199 · Feb 27, 2013

my Samsung is good for everything even game developing, but it doesn't help me in rigging and using high mesh for 3d models which i don't like to make it small,

and i was also interested in dell xps 12 which was 5000+ in my country

but when i thought buying it , i got to know that it was a waste for me to buy things like that which will be not used in future

Erick Aguilar · Feb 27, 2013

Well that's nice..
So what type of games are you developing?
Anything we might know about?

KKS21199 · Feb 27, 2013

i am now trying to develop games in OpenGl 4 which is a 3d video game, like god of war but for pc using C++

but my samsung can't support even the first step for running my game
