hey guys,
Ok, my hd tv has a dvi input. I'm not using it right now cause my cable company does not support the dvi out put on their high def box, and my dvd player doesn't have a dvi out. My question is this: I hear HDMI is the new thing and that DVI has too many problems to be widely used. if this is the case, and my next dvd player has an HDMI output will it work with my DVI input on my TV? Thanks |

From what I've just read on an excellent thread a few minutes ago, HDMI has the capability to carry HD video signal and digital audio to your tv, and DVI is video only, not audio. But then, why would you want to run digital audio to your tv? In most cases, dig. audio would be run by means of optical of dig. coax to your surround receiver. Anyway, here is the thread for some good reading!...

I have had no problems with dvi...
Besides the price of the cables....
HDMI and DVI cables have adapters to switch signal from one to the other. However Jacob
is correct the dvi doesn't have audio..
I agree with Jacob, why not run optical..
Huge picture improvement with dvi/hdmi on
my 56 samsung dlp!!!!!! |
