The answer is different for this particular type of monitor (DisplayView.) Say you sink your life savings into the latest graphics adapter, the AMDNVidia Super Pixel Blaster 9000 Baconator, because you want to play FarCrysis3 at the highest frame rate possible. When you hook up this monitor, it connects via USB, not DVI or HDMI, so your fancy-pants graphics card doesn't help. (Technicality: this monitor does also have a VGA port, but you wouldn't want to use that because won't perform as well as a similarly priced monitor with a DVI or HDMI input. You only want to buy this monitor if you're going to connect via USB.) And yes, dear readers, that sale is over. Cue the sad music. That’s a great question, actually!
