A DVI, or Digital Visual Interface, cable is used to connect video output devices (e.g. DVD or Blu-Ray players, computers and set-top boxes) to digital displays (e.g. plasma HD televisions or computer monitors).
It offers advantages over other analogue standards, such as VGA, composite video, component video and s-video, in that the image data transmitted over the cable remains in digital form throughout. This makes the signal less susceptible to interference, and leads to a clearer image on the screen. DVI cables have a variety of pins on the connector, depending on which part of the DVI standard they adhere to.
A DVI-cables may be operated in single or dual link mode. The dual-link mode allows higher resolutions (and hence sharper pictures) to be displayed. A DVI cable also includes analogue connectors, allowing backwards-compatibility. DVI may be seen as a competitor to HDMI (Hi-Definition Multimedia Interface).
The most obvious benefit of DVI cables is that it can transmit sharper pictures with less interference.
