HDMI vs DVI

[RichH]

Hey guys,

Just ordered one of these:

But realised it doesn't have dvi which I am used to.

Which is better hdmi or dvi?

I have speakers so don't need audio to get to the monitor.

Thanks in advance.

HDMI is fine for for 1080.

Electrically they are the same

Thanks guys, seems like 2 conflicting answers though, is dvi better for higher res?

 

[Orcvader]

Both are the same. No difference between HDMI and DVI quality wise on any resolution as they have the same eletrical signals.

Ok, thanks a lot.

agree they are both the same unless you want dual dvi output

as only dvi or display port can handle high res on screen

Yeah you need Dual-Link for 2560x1440+.

in answer to your question HDMI will be fine
