Question

Hi folks.. Choosing a new graphic card but not sure whether to get one with DVI or HDMI output.. Anyone knows if HDMI is superior in terms of video quality? Cause graphic cards with HDMI outputs are quite costly at the moment if DVI ones can deliver similiar results than I will most likely just one with DVI. Please enlighten. Thanks a million!

Answer 1

DVI and HDMI are all digital. Infact both are equal except that HDMI has pins that are used for audio as well. Actually, DVI has the same pins as the HDMI but there are no device in the market that uses DVI's audio pins. The pins are there, it's just not being used. I guess HDMI took that fuctionality away from DVI. If your computer is equipped with HDMI, you could turn on the audio feature so it can pass the audio down to your TV's HDMI input without having a separate audio out from your compuer to the TV.

There is no quality difference between the DVI to HDMI.. Again both are digital and uses same digital format. I think HDMI is more expensive becuase it's hasn't been around that long. If you can afford the HDMI card then I would get that just because you can send the audio to the TV without a separate audio cable. Getting a DVI to HDMI adapter will definitely work but you'll lose the audio.

You choose.
