DVI FAQ
Which DVI Cable do I need?	Most computers will have a DVI-I connector, and most monitors will have DVI-D. DVI-D cables can plug into DVI-I ports, but DVI-I cables cannot plug into DVI-D ports. Therefore, either a DVI-I to DVI-D cable or DVI-D to DVI-D cable will work.
Why DVI-I?	DVI-I allows for support for both analog (VGA) and computer monitors / HDTV's (w/DVI connector). DVI-I can output to DVI-D, DVI-I, and DVI-A connectors using a matching cable.

What is Dual Link?	Dual link supports higher data rates than single link. Dual link will support up to 2048 × 1536 resolution. Single link will support up to 1920 x 1080 resolution.
What do the connectors look like?	DVI-I, DVI-D, and DVI-A in both single and dual link.
Can I use DVI with HDMI?	DVI-D (single link) can drive HDMI displays, if HDCP is not active on the source and the display. Please check the manufacturer's manuals to see if HDCP is present or not. DVI HDCP can communicate with HDMI HDCP in most cases. However, compatiblity issues are sometimes seen.
