>>>/sqt/

hi guys

i switched from 4chan to reddit and i noticed that reddit sucks. it's very gay and gay

switch back to 4chan and the feels more natural

on the 4chan topic who still uses 4chan and can anyone confirm this

Should have gone with DisplayPort.

DVI and HDMI are exactly the same shit.

Check your config retard

You sure you weren't using the analog signal from a vga port while on dvi? Both dvi and hdmi are digital, it either works or you get artifacts, not color accuracy loss

go to your nvidia/amd control panel and switch color range from 15-235 to 0-255

displayport > hdmi > dvi > vga

Should have gone to spec savers

Oh yeah I forgot about this. Especially nvidia fucks this up, set the rgb range to full instead of limited. Didn't need this when I had an amd btw.

>>60893948
This. Nvidia limits color range by default.

>>60893948
this

limited range a shit

Doesn't HDMI have some kind of shitty lossy compression ?

>>60893911
If you have to ask for confirmation then HDMI is the right choice for you.

>>60893911
DVI Dual Link because with HDMI you have to pray that the ports you're going into are HDMI 2.0 (most aren't).

For me it switches back to limited every time I update the drivers, which is fucking annoying.

isn't HDMI and DVI the same thing but different connectors?

>>60893948
how can i change this on linux? Im using fedora with an amd gpu

>>60894031
no, the base video signal is the same for either DVI or HDMI and they can physically be adapted back and forth freely

HDMI implements support for encryption but it's lossless and most devices which aren't media players don't implement it; strippers are also like $20.

it's entirely just most hdmi displays being sold as tvs where 10-235 was the standard so most other hdmi devices default to that, while most dvi displays were sold as monitors where 0-255 was the standard so most other dvi devices default to that. only the shittiest of any of these can't be set to use the other.

HDMI is basically DVI + audio.
