[SOLVED] Question regarding cables for TV and monitor

[Lawrence2020]

Hi again,

I wanted to ask you guys for some help regarding the cables that i have and which connect my GPU (Gigabyte Geforce 2070 TI) to my monitor and TV.

I use a dual-screen setup for work also (using a Gigabyte B360M Aorus Gaming 3 mobo).

Since i have an old VGA monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 943N) and a Philips 21.5", Full HD, 221S8LDAB, i have the following setup:

• the vga monitor is connected via a VGA cable with a HDMI adaptor to the mobo (as this only has HDMI and DVI entries).
• the other monitor and the TV (a Panasonic Viera which i use ocasionally for gaming) both fight for the only HDMI that the GPU has

The questions are:

• to connect the TV to the PC, i use the A+ Ultra High-Speed HDMI 2.0 V, 18Gbps 4K, HDR, 3D, 2160P, 1080P, plug-plug, Ethernet, gold-plated cable. Is this the best solution to carry over the data or are there even better ones so that nothing's lost along the way?
• So that i don't have to plug/unplug the monitor and tv, i was thinking on leaving the TV have the HDMI slot and put the Philips monitor on a separate cable (but not use the monitor and TV at the same time). The GPU has either Direct Port available or a USB Type-C, however the monitor only has VGA, HDMI or DVI ...

Do you guys have any suggestions on how to go with the above?

Thank you!

Hi,

Thank you for your answer.

Would a cable that has displayport-hdmi included work for this task? Are there any differences in quality between them? I was thinking about something like https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16812816171 .

Kind regards!
