Digital Visual Interface (DVI) 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. DVI-D DVI-A DVI-I DisplayPort/Mini-DisplayPort DisplayPort is a digital display interface that defines a royalty-free, digital audio/video interconnect. DisplayPort allows you to connect a computer to a display or home-theater system. Mini-DisplayPort is a smaller version of the DisplayPort. Dell provides Mini-DisplayPorts in place of DisplayPorts on the Dell Inspiron Mini series of computers. NOTE: DisplayPorts and Mini-DisplayPorts vary in size. To connect devices that support DisplayPort to a Mini-DisplayPort connector, you must use a Mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort adapter. 92 Digital Visual Interface (DVI)
