Are DVI-I and DVI-D compatible?

Question

My video card has DVI-I outputs and the monitor has DVI-D inputs. When they are connected the monitor displays a message indicating no source or connection. I thought DVI-I and DVI-D could be connected.

Answer 1

Are you using a DVI-A cable?

DVI-I is a standard that supports both DVI-D and DVI-A. But if you try to run a DVI-A cable to a DVI-D device, it will not work.
