DVI

What is DVI?

DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a type of video connector used to transmit digital video signals from a computer to a monitor or display.

DVI cables come in several variations, including DVI-D (digital-only), DVI-A (analog-only), and DVI-I (integrated digital and analog). DVI-D is the most common type used for modern displays, as it provides a pure digital signal with no loss of quality. DVI supports a wide range of resolutions and is capable of transmitting high-quality digital video, making it a popular choice for gaming and multimedia applications. However, it does not support audio transmission, so a separate audio cable is required for audio output. DVI has largely been replaced by newer standards such as HDMI and DisplayPort, which support higher resolutions and additional features such as audio and USB data transmission. However, many older monitors and graphics cards still use DVI, and it remains a viable option for those looking for a high-quality digital video connection.
