Digital Visual Interface

Digital Visual Interface (DVI) carries high-resolution video signals. You can use DVI to connect your computer to displays such as flat-panel monitors, LCD
TVs, and so on.
There are three types of DVI connections:
DVI-D (DVI-Digital) — DVI-D is used for direct digital connection between the video card (source) and the digital display. This provides fast and
high-quality video output.
DVI- A (DVI-Analog) — DVI-A is used to send video signals to an analog display like a CRT monitor or analog LCD.
DVI- I (DVI-Integrated) — DVI-I is an integrated connector that can send either a digital-to-digital signal or analog-to-analog signal. This makes it
more versatile as it can be used in both analog and digital environments.
