DVI connection on Monitor - Thunder or HDMI

Question

DVI connection on Monitor - Thunder or HDMI

Hi,

I just got a new monitor that has a DVI connection. Should I use the thunder port or the HDMI port? I'm thinking with HDMI I would have to have some kind of extra converter thing right?

Thanks

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

You'l l need a converter, and Adpater, for either port. HDMI to DVI or Thunderbolt to DVI adapter.

Have no idea. If this is from the Retina model then from what I hear the Res on external screens is not all that good. Many reports of blurried screens no matter what resolution or connection type is used. Try both pick the one you like the best.
