DVI Cable Types

The credit for the exquisitely clear picture quality and resolution that you find in computer monitors and television screens, is partly owed to the high quality video cables that are used to transmit electronic signals from source to these displays. One of the first high quality video interfaces to be introduced was DVI (Digital Visual Interface). Though superseded by HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) today, DVI cables and connectors are still used in transmission of video signals for computer monitors and digital displays. Depending on the type of video signal (analog/digital) and the type of interface technology at signal source and destination, different DVI cable types are used. In this Buzzle article, you will be introduced to different types of DVI cables and their features.
