I like the full-size DisplayPort connector the best of any video connector I've dealt with,
Thanks!
I'm waiting to see if my current monitor actually dies. It's an Asus 1920x1200 monitor that I like rather a lot, but it occasionally acts a bit flaky when coming back out of sleep mode. (The screen fills with a white brick-like pattern, but when I turn the monitor off and back on again it works perfectly once again. It has gone weeks between episodes of this, and it's done it two or three times a day -- very inconsistent.)
If this monitor actually does die, I'm thinking that I'll replace it with a 2560x1440 monitor, but the built-in Intel video controller on my motherboard apparently supports that resolution only on the Displayport connector; the DVI port maxes out at 1920x1200.
There also exists "dual link" DVI port: DVI-D. Also: reading wikipedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface
I see that single link DVI supports up to WQUXGA (3,840 × 2,400) @ 17 Hz (164 MHz) whereas dual link DVI supports up to WQUXGA (3,840 × 2,400) @ 33 Hz with GTF blanking (2 × 159 MHz)

I guess I can purchase the higher resolution monitor without fear if I need it, and I sincerely appreciate your recommendation for a video card too!
