DVI or HDMI for Computers?
For my last couple of years working in the computer tech industry, one question that has started to come up a lot is: which is better to use for connecting computers to a high definition display? HDMI cable or DVI? The main reason this question has came up a lot recently is because newer video cards are starting to come with both connection types as options for connecting PCs to Displays. My advice is to use which ever one is most convenient to you. HDMI and DVI transmit a digital video signal in the same exact way. The only difference is the connection types. The picture is going to look exactly the same no matter what type of video cable you use.
Does HDMI Carry Audio from the PC?
We already know that DVI is unable to carry audio no matter what source you use. What about HDMI? It can carry noth audio and video so can it do it with my PC?
Answer: Unless your PC specifically has the ability to carry both audio and video through HDMI, its not going to carry audio. Many people who use HDMI for computers to the display carry the audio with a different cable (stereo).
