Hi,
what is the difference between these to monitor connectors BNC and D-Sub?
b stephen harding Black & White Rhino Press I have read the other replies up to now, but I'm not sure any of them answer your question. BNC is a type of connector used on coaxial cable. Coaxial cable is a type of cable where a single wire is run inside a dielectric material, which is covered with a braided shield, and then with a protective outside insulating covering. To use BNC, you must have BNC input jacks on your monitor. Usually, only the high-end monitors have these. As someone else has already noted, each of

The cables are impedance matched and properly terminated, which eliminates electrical reflections and should improve the video frequency response, which then should give you better resolution. The "sub-d" is a multipin connector, nowadays having 15 pins, that you probably are using now on your monitor-to-video-card connection. Interestingly, my 19" Sony monitor, which has both types of connection, can be switched between inputs, so I could, if I wanted, have 2 computers feeding the same monitor, and I may actually consider doing that. --doug
