Is there a difference between HDMI and DVI?

Yes. HDMI is a newer standard. Among other things, it allows one cable to transmit both audio and video, where the DVI will just do video. Because the HDMI can do both, it is far more common to find it in the home entertainment area. The HDMI connector is also significantly smaller.

the hdmi can carry an audio signal from your video card, so games etc will play video and audio through the monitors' speakers, whereas, the DVI signal will only carry the video signal w/ no audio. both are indistinguishably great quality video though.

You can't generally transmit audio through DVI. I think DVI-2 can can transmit a higher resolution. Read more here: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/32524/whats-the-difference-between-hdmi-and-dvi-which-is-better/

Not 100% sure, but it might be because there are different kinds of DVI. This worked well for me with a DVI-D connection, but DVI-A and DVI-I also both exist. That's just my guess though.

Yes! One is HDMI and the other is DVI. I have two ASUS HD monitors on the system currently.

VGA is less defined.DVI will give you a crisper image and a more thorough black. For office work or just messing around, they both work, but if you want visually compelling, VGA < DVI < HDMI

I haven't tried HDMI to DVI. I can't really test it either because I don't have that kind of cable. I can't see why is shouldn't work though. The output is pretty much a passthrough.

Yes, you should be able to connect the video from the DVI on your card to the HDMI on your TV set. You will not be able to get the audio - DVI output does not support audio - you would need a card with HDMI output to be able to send video and audio over one cable.

There are both, however you must provide your own HDMI Cord. The DVI is included.

Not on mine. normally HDMI is an output for a computer rather than an input. There is only 1 video out on this computer, SVGA. No digital (DVI) either. You might find a vid card that would fit that had these, but it's awfully tight.

not sure about the hdmi but I used the dvi and the usb. the usb sends the touch features back to the computer

I connected mine with dual-link DVI cable and it works fine. To get the high resolution it does need to be dual-link. You can tell if it by looking to see if it has pins in all 24 locations. Regular DVI will not support the high resolution. You can also use HDMI. It depends on the monitor and the graphics card what it supports. Hope this helps.

Dear Paul, Thank you for your question regarding our HDMI to DVI adapter cable. No, the limitation for conversion from HDMI to DVI is at 1920X1200 at 60Hz. We recommend using a dual link DVI cable for purposes. Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions.Thanks,BlueRigger LLCservice@bluerigger.com

You can use DVI by using a HDMI to DVI Cable, it works fine. This unit has a HDMI and a std VGA port. You can run two monitors using each port.

Yes, I would say so, but it really depends on the application. Note it is DVI, not HDMI.

Yes, DVI out carries video signal only. So the DVI to HDMI will only carry video.

You should use DVI-D dual link cable. Unfortunately not all DVI cables are equal. Even if you see all pins present on the cable ends it doesn't mean that the cable is actually DVI-D dual link type (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface). For me this mistake ended up in buying new video card as I thought my old one wasn't capable of supporting this resolution.

You will have to purchase an active port cable hdmi to dvi. make sure its active port. I purchased one on amazon for 25 bucks.
