HDMI Cable for my monitor and a new Desktop PC

Alicia J · 24 Dec 2023

I am going to buy a new PC with rear ports listed:

2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports (2 x Type-A )
4 x USB 2.0 ports (4 x Type-A)
1 x DisplayPort 2 x HDMI ports
1 x Wi-Fi Module
1 x Realtek 2.5Gb Ethernet port
3 x Audio jacks
1 x PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse combo port

My BenQ V2200Eco monitor has an HDMI port that looks like the picture attached.

I can't find that model monitor on the manufacturers website. I assume that's one of the regular HDMI ports. Will an HDMI 2.0 cable work? I will order one if it does.

v2200-eco <- a couple links there to manuals , specs, etc.

Thanks. I was emailing the company and they couldn’t find the specs for that monitor.
That’s good to have. Thanks.

Sooo sad...that alone would be a good reason for me to kick that monitor to the curb.....if they can't find specs for their own products, what does that say about the company overall ?

Anyways, just do yourself a big favor and stay about a gazillion miles away from any el-cheapo, bottom of the barrel cables (ie not the Wallyworld/BustBuy etc-branded ones)....they always suck & will cause you major issues

I'm not saying you have to spend $500 on one, but get one that is at least the "high-speed v2.0" or better variety, and just slightly longer than you currently think you need ATM (for flexibility in placement or potential future locations), depending on what you plan to display/watch on your monitor.... the higher the quality stuff you look at, the higher spec you wanna go for on the cables...ie 4K gaming/movies/streaming content etc, vs just plain ole everyday computer stuff...

I currently use several uGreen & MonoPrice cables for my various multi-monitor computer rigs (7x) & AV set-ups (4x) & have never ever had any issues whatsoever with them, but there are a ton of other good brands too
