My Philips 242m8 came with the HDMI cable only, are there any noticeable differences if I use a DP cable instead?

    I had to get one to use Gsync. If you have an Amd card or that monitor isn’t adaptive sync then that shouldn’t be a limitation.

    I use DisplayPort on principle. It’s an open standard, while HDMI is controlled by an extortive cabal.

    If you already have an HDMI cable and it works, then use it. There is zero reason to switch to DP, unless you find yourself wanting one of the features that is exclusive to DP (like daisy chaining monitors or Gsync). Otherwise, buying a DP cable would be nothing more than a waste of your money.
