Re: DVI vs. HDMI
said by kusiobache  :EDIT: TO make it short, I guess what I'm saying is... Do DVI cables support 1920 X 1080 resolutions, and also higher resolutions and/or Dual Monitors? In short, yes. There IS a subjective difference between DVI output and HDMI output. On my Samsung 220HD monitor the HDMI output to screen is much sharper through my EVGA GTX260 than the DVI output. Well worth the cost of the cable (which doesn't jiggle). Your monitor and video card may give you different results.

HDMI is DVI, but with audio and a condensed form factor. also, since theyre both digital, there isnt really a way for one to have a better picture based on the cable. digital is digital, it's either 100% indicitive of the source or it's 0% (static/black/etc). maybe not the entire screen, but the image is either fully on and full source quality or it's off.

At least that is how it appears.

Yep, that's a placebo alright.. signals the same, there's no reason processing would be any different. Yet it appears sharper. The monitor I'm using is a Samsung T220HD. Some monitors allow you to use different settings for each input. Things like image adjustment, color correction, motion enhancement, and any other 'feature' that you can toggle using the on screen display will alter the image before it is displayed on your screen. Some monitors have a 'Game Mode' that turns every filter feature off, giving you the purest image from your video card. DVI and HDMI use the same processing chips inside your monitor, so this difference that you see could be coming from the DVI input applying filters while the HDMI input is not altering the input. Likewise, video cards can have different image filters for each monitor output. Same situation there.
But the video signals that travel down the DVI and HDMI cables are electrically the same. There should be no difference between DVI and HDMI for video.
