DVI or HDMI

Hello all,

Could be a silly question, but what would give me the best looking picture?

At the moment my PC is useing DVI-I, but the graphics card also has a HDMI socket the monitor can do both.

So question is what will give me the best picture?

Many Thanks

In theory you should not see any difference!

Ah, so when I buy a projector it does not matter if it's only got HDMI and not DVI, as both will give the same picture.

Indeed, you will see no difference.

I'd always use HDMI where I had the chance... connectors are less fiddly, don't break, it carries audio and can be interchanged with pretty much all HD devices in the home these days.

However, there's no difference in video quality.
