Is there any point to DVI-HDMI

Hi all,

I was just looking around the internet and saw a DVI-HDMI cable. This got me thinking is there any advantage to it as my monitor does have hdmi but my gfx does not.

Thanks

your tv has no DVI port, VGA goes a bit funny when u get to 1080P wheres as digital output like DVi and HDMi have superior band width for the data transfer and erm you can get audio out thru most DVi ports now for HDMi

Slightly improved image quality over VGA, I personally use a HDMI cable with a DVI-HDMI adapter, that way I can still use my HDMI cable if I get a card with HDMI on it.

Thanks for the replies.

Seems that as I am using DVI already there is not much point going to DVI-HDMI
