Which DVI Cable?

Hi there,

On my graphics cards i have an output DVI-I (Dual link) according to the picture here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVI.

The input on my monitor is DVI-D (dual link)

What sort of cable am i looking for. DVI-D -> DVI-I or will a DVI-D -> DVI-D suffice?

Thanks.

Well my monitor is a DVI-D, so surely it will not accept a DVI-I input?

Its a Philips 190B4.

Has VGA and DVI-D outputs.

Ah right.

Any advantage of me using DVI over VGA or this particular monitor?

Does it matter if its Dual Link or Single Link?

What's the difference?

If I bought a DVI monitor that did a resolution of 1280*1024, would it most likely come with a Dual link or a single link cable?

Lol - i know that sounds like a stupid question, but im just interested
