What makes you think you can expect an image difference when you are connecting to DVI port on the card in both cases?

Regardless, you will not get an image quality difference between DVI and HDMI.

I am not satisfied with image quality produced by gtx 260 over led monitor , it seems to me that its not hd , thats 1080p. when this card got capability to do this, i cant benchmark n say that whatever signals this card is processing is of hd quality.( thats why i did change a cable to see the differance..)

Did you install the latest drivers? What screen resolution is your monitor set at?

Can you explain how the image quality doesn't seem "HD" to you? Are images soft? Colors washed out?

Go here, watch the trailer in 360p at full screen and then at 1080p at full screen and feel the difference.

If images and text are crisp, then you are running at the monitor's native resolution - in your case, 1920x1080. You can right-click on the desktop, select "screen resolution", and see what that says.

"1080p" identifies resolution, not how bright or vivid the image is.

Monitors often need to be adjusted for color. Your monitor has adjustments for this. You should be anle to adjust contrast, saturation, brightness, etc. The Nvidia control panel also allows you to adjust color.

Did you try calibrating your monitor?
win7 comes with a simple (but mostly adequate) version of a calibrating tool.

People have different preference for color settings, I personally go for 6500K (most natural to my eyes, industry standard)
