DVI vs HDMI

[01001010]

I know its hard for you to go to google.com and type "what is digital noise" or even digital noise dvi cable. But someone reading this will and will see i'm right.

So you're talking about cameras?

Oh and are you referring to dual link dvi-d, or single link dvi-d. Again i'm right, HDMI is better. Simple as that... You can say what you want, as far as "simliarities" but HDMI is still better.. here's something else for you to read.. Maybe this will educate you alittle.

Read your own damn link. It's relating to home theater. Do we look like we focus on home theaters around here?

When considering HDMI vs DVI, if available, we recommend HDMI. This is not because it is any better then DVI, only because the industry will heavily push HDMI due to the HDCP Digital Rights Management technology.

LOL CAMERAS AHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH OMG ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?! Did you even read the link? LOL Oh i'm sorry don't they make home entertainment(theater) computers?

So you're for digital content protection? You think that's better?

I think you need to read your stuff as HDCP is also an option available on DVI

Your an idiot plain and simple the article you posted actually contradicted what you said completely here let me repeat it again for you seeing as you seem to have reading comprehension issues

When considering HDMI vs DVI, if available, we recommend HDMI. This is not because it is any better then DVI

"HDMI vs DVI what is the difference?
When looking at the differences, HDMI vs DVI actually have more in common then differences. They are both all digital, they also are all based on similar specifications since HDMI was derived from the DVI specification. There are two big differences:HDMI incorporates content protection called High Definition Content Protection (HDCP). HDMI supports audio in addition to digital video. (DVI only supports digital video)"

"Which one should I use today?
When considering HDMI vs DVI, if available, we recommend HDMI. This is not because it is any better then DVI, only because the industry will heavily push HDMI due to the HDCP Digital Rights Management technology. However you should not expect any difference when moving from DVI to HDMI, therefore if you have DVI already stick with it until the next standard comes around. Also note you may be interested in staying with your component connections. See our HDMI vs Component article."

I may have been wrong about the refresh rate, but you're on a tech forum and don't know what digital noise is? Wow.. stop posting.. and go research.. The topic was "DVI VS HDMI" and obviously HDMI is better for several reasons, Digital Audio, HDCP(which i'm sure you dont know what it is) and HDMI is less effected by Digital Noise... I know its hard for you to go to google.com and type "what is digital noise" or even digital noise dvi cable. But someone reading this will and will see i'm right. Oh and are you referring to dual link dvi-d, or single link dvi-d. Again i'm right, HDMI is better. Simple as that... You can say what you want, as far as "simliarities" but HDMI is still better.. here's something else for you to read.. Maybe this will educate you alittle.

you keep banging on about this noise issue i suggest you either proove it by showing me some credible evidence not just someone saying that there is noise on a self publishing website either that or i suggest you drop the noise issue because you cant proove it
The onlyadvantage to HDMI over DVI is the fact that it can transmit the audio signal . The method that each cable uses to encode and transmit the digital video information is exactly the same

LOL gosh i love tech n00bs.

That makes a lot of sense. You do seem to love yourself a fair bit. I'm afraid I'm not so loving of "n00bs" that think they know everything about everything.

In case you're still under the illusion that you know what you're on about, let me refer you to the official HDMI specification.

Most specifically, the first paragraph of appendix C, "Compatibility with DVI". In case you aren't capable of reading, I'll paste it here:

All HDMI Sources shall be compatible with DVI 1.0 compliant sink devices (i.e. “monitors” or
“displays”) through the use of a passive cable converter. Likewise, all HDMI Sinks shall be
compatible with DVI 1.0 compliant sources (i.e. “systems” or “hosts”) through the use of a similar
cable converter.

Now let me translate: DVI and HDMI sources are electrically compatible. A passive cable converter means that you can just rewire the pins on one connector to the other, without any electrical trickery, and vice versa. It's not a case of one format being superior to the other, and noise doesn't come into it.

If you feel the need to argue back, please quote and post the link to an official, verified specification and quote the part that contradicts the above. (Hint: You won't find one.)

For the love of God. J is the do all and say all on audio and video. I give him that. He knows his stuff, you're just pissed because he one-up'd you on a subject you pretended to know about. You're wrong, he's right. Suck it up.

I'm just assuming that the television has HDMi inputs and a VGA input. If you intend to use HDMI, make sure that the television can support the resolution and refresh rate you have your PC set to. Just turn it to 1024x768 for safety, then tune it up to any other supported 16:9 resolution. I would suggest 1920x1080 but I don't know how well your card would handle it. Try various ones until it seems like it works. Also make sure the converter from the DVI port uses all pins (DVI-I Dual link or DVI-D dual link).
