Default Dvi-i // Dvi-d ????????

I have got from another forum a quote, but im confused on how it is worded.....

Quote:
Q. What's the difference between DVI-D and DVI-I ?

A. DVI is the first digital standard and supports a dual link mode, which allows res up to 2048 x 1536 and beyond. The DVI specification supports hot plug and play display devices.

There are 3 main different configurations when it comes to DVI:
1. DVI-A is designed for analogue only connections
2. DVI-D is designed for digital signals only
3. DVI-I (Integrated) is a single connector which is designed for both digital and analog use, and is backward compatible with analog displays.
Most LCD monitors that support digital signal have DVD-D connectors.

The cables: DVI-I single link configuration provides bandwidth sufficient for res up to 1600 x 1200 and high speed transmission up to 4.95Gbps.
DVI-I dual link config can do 2048 x 1536 @ 9.9Gbps, this is the same for a DVI-D dual link configuration.

Cable suppliers recommend: "Most customers should use a DVI-D to DVI-D cable. We suggest that you do not order a DVI-I to DVI-I cable unless you are certain that it will work for your application."

Now i have a Radeon 9800 128mb Pro.... and im looking for a TFT Monitor. Ive Been Very Interested In The LG Flatron L1710B (17 in.)

Now could someone please clear this up for me as i want to be ordering soon!!

thanks,

I guess i don't understand the problem, the L1710B uses a vga connector. And if you want use your dvi port then you should have a converter.

Dude, relax.

Read your quote more closely...the answer is there.

DVI-A is an analogue signal.
DVI-D is a digital signal.

A DVI-I port supports either a DVI-A or a DVI-D signal.
