using a converter vs native?

[casilladelucas]

hey guys,quick question, I have a gtx evga 1050 that im using with a monitor, via a converter trough the hdmi port to the vga of the monitor itself. would I notice (if there is) the difference if I had a monitor that would connect to the gpu with no "middle man" ? like, if maintain the resolution, would it ve worth it to buy a monitor that lets me connect the gpu without the converter?

Might depend on the quality of the converter. But given that any monitor that has no digital inputs is likely very old, you may end up with a better picture purely as a result of getting a new, modern monitor.

Converters typically add a bit of input lag, how much and whether it's noticeable will depend on the converter.

I wouldn't buy a new monitor just because you want to remove the "middle man" lol. I would get a new monitor to get a new monitor. You would surly notice say a higher resolution, faster refresh rate, better color reproduction, better response times, better contrast, etc from a decent modern monitor far more than less input lag from not needing to use a converter anymore.

so in a way, I would have "excuses" for making the switch, but they would be "rich excuses" just to take the converter out of the equation
