That's not true. It's bi-directional signaling. The video card queries the monitor to find out a number of things like the possible resolution and for HDMI if it is a secure display to display protected content on, so obviously the monitor has to talk back to the video card.

 

^^well i think he meant the dvi ports on a video card aren't meant to input video. of course there is some sort of communication there.

 

unless the westinghouse goes on sale before i have enough to get the hanns-g, then i will. 24" is plenty for me.. but 28 is that much more plenty either way i will be happy going from a 19" CRT that flickers a bit!!!

 

DDC aside, only cards that have HDCP on their DVI outputs. Many do not though.

I meant it more that it doesn't accept a video signal.

If you are looking for some cheap HDMI-DVI or any other type of cable for cheap, go to monoprice.com, extremely cheap, and dont get fooled by monster cables they are overpriced. I dont think there are any special ways monster enhances the 1's and 0's.

 

dont you get it?

monster gold plates their cable ends.

making and 1 and 0s more expensive... duh...


this reminds me of a cable maker i saw during CES where on their SPEAKER cable, they had directional arrows imprinted on the cable jacket...

lol...

 

hahaha i would never ever buy a monster cable unless it was for analog. in which case they can be very nice for preventing any signal interference.
