I'm thinking of purchasing this monitor --- LG 29UM65 Black 29" 5ms Dual HDMI UltraWide screen LED Backlight LCD Monitor IPS Panel 300 cd/m2 5000000:1 Built-in Speakers - Newegg.com
I have my current monitor connected with a DVI connection.
Would i stick with that option?
Thanks,
Paul
Hi Paul,
You could stick with that if you wanted, but I would suggest using HDMI if your GPU supports it. :)

Hi Chuck,
How do I check to see if the GPU supports HDMI?
Your motherboard also has HDMI and display port connections. If you have the cables try it, otherwise DVI will work

You're welcome, that is a nice monitor...enjoy it!
It really deserves a dedicated graphics card
Just set up the monitor.
The speakers in the monitor are better than the ones I had - and I thought those were fine.
There are so many settings and adjustments, that you need a Masters in Monitors, but I guess it will get easier with time.
When I first turned it on, it said - "no signal but HDMI is connected - press OK to switch to HDMI.
There's no way that I could see to do that, but I finally turned the button on monitor off and on.
That fixed it and I was finally able to get the screen to show Desktop.
Other than the initial hiccups, this monitor is great and I thank both of you again.
Paul
