I own the Iiyama Vision Master Pro 410 and was thinking of getting the BNC video cable. My question is if installing the BNC cable over the standard video cable will improve my visual quality and/or sharpness at all resolutions. Also wondering if there any other advantages or disadvantages of the BNC cable.


Here's a pair I found online: http://www.lindy.com/us/catalog/14/04/01c/index.php It goes for $20, but all the rest that I found seem to be in the range of $200+ .. Curious about the price difference.


Does anyone have any experience with this, and if so any input/help is appreciated.


Thanks in advance.

Cool. Thanks for the link. I'm gonna snoop around a little more and see if there's any difference between different quality/price BNC cables, then I think I will purchase one. I run my desktop at 1280x1024 so it's possible that it might help my image quality and improve sharpness.

Here's a new link to the product purchase page http://www.symmic.com/product.asp?0=231&1=235&3=100

It depends mostly on the resolution and the quality of your video card's analog signal. At a very high res and refresh rate (maybe 1600x1200 @ 85Hz, or a little less), with a built-by-ATI or Matrox video card, you would probably notice at least a small difference.

Then the cost of a BNC cable is not worth it. You won't notice a difference.
