DisplayPort (a license-free standard proposed by VESA to succeed DVI that has optional DRM mechanisms) / Mini DisplayPort DVI cables can only transmit video, while HDMI connectors transmit both audio and video signals. When it comes to display and picture quality, DVI and HDMI use the same system for digital video signals. Note that DVI does not support HDCP encryption by default, so it cannot be used to play full HD Blu-ray or other HD content. a b Manchester, Gary (1999). The VESA Digital Flat Panel (DFP) Standard: A White Paper (PDF) (Report). VESA Marketing Committee. Archived from the original (PDF) on January 12, 2016. Many TVs and PC monitors use HDMI cables. HDMI stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface. It is the most common cable for home theater systems as it supports 3D video signals. DisplayPort Cable Most modern AV equipment usually has an HDMI connector, which can send high-quality digital video and audio signals.

HDMI is a newer digital audio/video interface developed and promoted by the consumer electronics industry. DVI and HDMI have the same electrical specifications for their TMDS and VESA/DDC twisted pairs. However HDMI and DVI differ in several key ways. The DVI connection on the end of the cable may have different amounts of pins depending on the type of DVI connection it is designed for.

The format of DVI’s digital video transmission is based on panelLink, which was developed by Silicon Image. panelLink uses a high-speed serial link referred to as Transition Minimized Differential Signaling (TMDS). Newer monitors are capable of connecting to a computer using a VGA, DVI, HDMI, or DisplayPort connector. For these types of monitors, the correct input selection needs to be used. Access the settings on the monitor using the buttons on the front or bottom edge of the monitor. Look for options to select the type of connector (e.g., VGA, DVI, HDMI, or DisplayPort), and select the cable your monitor uses. Bad hardware Meanwhile, an HDMI’s plug is much smaller than DVI. It is slim and compact and consists of 19 pins only. However, you can also get mini and micro versions of both DVI and HDMI. Three types of cables, namely DVI-A that transmits analog signals only, DVI-D that carries digital signals only, and DVI-I that carries both analog and digital signalsCarries purely digital signals; has five types, which are Types A to E (Types A and B are HDMI 1.0, Type C is 1.3, Types D and E are HDMI 1.4)
