DVI stands for Digital Video Interface. DVI is a form of digital technology connection used to display high quality images from modern graphics cards and is widely used with computer monitors and LCD screens.

• DVI-A – carries an analogue signal and can support VGA signals via adapters but will not support HDMI
• DVI-D – carries a direct digital signal without converting to analog
• DVI-I – capable of carrying either a digital or analog signal

DVI-D cables work by eliminating the process of converting the digital signal from a video card to analog and back again. By providing a direct link from video card to monitor, a much quicker connection is established that is capable of producing high quality images.

Although the two are similar in the sense they can display high quality digital images, HDMI cables have become the standard cable for use with modern tv's as they can also carry sound, making them an ideal all in one cable. DVI cables, on the other hand, are more suited to displaying high quality digital images on an LCD screen or computer monitor and can also be connected to an HDMI port via a digital converter, making them highly versatile.
