Very informative. You just helped me figure out a problem I was having. I had an DVI -D plugged in a DVI- A port. I was wondering why it wasn't working. Thank you SIr.

i'm using dvi-I dual link to vga on my thin client however i cannot seem to select 1080p on the display settings menu and even when im installing linux its only on low res display and i cannot detect my monitor type why is that? i hope you can help me
VGA HDMI and DisplayPort all only have one type of connector and I don't know what the difference is between HDMI and DisplayPort but everyone says DisplayPort is better which confuses me because if it was better wouldn't all the TV manufacturers use it instead of HDMI?
Thank You for the video, very useful. I ordered a DVI to VGA adapter and did not realize that I need the 4 pins for the analog signals. Now I know why I was not getting video. My monitor is an old LCD that has connections for VGA and DVI so I guess ordering a DVI-i to DVI cable will work with my Nvida Quadro to my LCD monitor. Thanks again.
Thank you for a useful information. By the way, if I accidentally inserted a DVI-D dual-link cable to a DVI-D single-link port graphics will it damage the port?
There is still one more type not mentioned, unless I missed it. It has a single flat blade and 3 rows of 10 pins. Not sure what it is used for. I have a HDMI to this type of adapter.
Thank you sir for helping me figure out this weird cable. It was male HDMI coming from projector to male DVI-D. Then female DVI-D to Display port into computer. Attempting to buy Female DVI-D HDMI to go into laptop. Thank you
my monitor has DVI-D dual link connector and my video card has DVI-i dual connector can i connect this two? and if answer is yes then with what cable? thank you in advance
My monitor is capable of resolution up to 1920x1080. Are these cables capable of displaying 16:9 ratio? If so, which would be the recommended cable between DVI-D Single, DVI-D Dual, and DVI-I Dual? I'm assuming DVI-I Dual, but I want to be safe with my decision.
there are but you need to use a DVI-I Dual to achieve that, on a GPU through a DVI connection to a TV with an HDMI end, I did for almost 10 years and there's no noticeable bandwidth loss, but you need to use a dedicated GPU for the sound device to work, both nvidia & amd will work for this, intel already does it, I tried to use an on-board DVI port and that doesn't carry sound whatsoever so don't bother trying it, only on HDMI you will get sound if it comes directly from the mobo in most cases.
my dell 3007wfp Monitors have only a dvi-i Input but a max Resolution of 2560 x 1600 i use. because you've said dvi-i has an lower max Resolution pls correct It. greetz
for a while now i have tried to out put to HDMI from DVI, i have purchased several DVI to HDMI adapters but still the output is horrible. what am i doing wrong?????????????????????????
hey i have an infocus lp70+ projector and i need a dvi cable thats a dvi i dual link but with 30 3 rows of 10 pins instead of 8 and cant find it. where can i get one?
i was looking for this, this helped so much, thank you, also dvi-i 24+5 dual link to vga can be used to output signal from a gpu to a vga output monitor correct?
To get audio you need to get aux to aux plug from your PC headphones slot to your monitor/tv/screen headphones slot, you control the volume from your monitor/tv (or remote).. only 1 year late of a reply
Ok. My mom's new computer's graphics card uses DVI-D Dual. I want to hookup a VGA monitor. I purchased a DVI-D single cable and DVI-D Dual coverter to VGA converter as recommended by a tech store. Will this work? What do I need?
It needs to be an active adapter. Since DVI-D carries no analog signales, it needs tobe converted to a format the alaog connection on the monitor can understand.
Thank you for useful information I still have to process all these different cables.Trying to connect a $75 Bunker Hill a analog two camera security system into a Acer monitor that has a VGA & one of those DVI - a I'm trying to get a compatible cable to join these to maybe your company can help me thank you

my pc has 18+1 pin DVI-D single link but my monitor is VGA, i cannot find an adapter converter or cable online, they are all 24+1 DVI-D dual link, if i buy a female 24+1 pin dual link adapter can i connect my male 18=1 pin dvi-d single link cable to it from my pc and then my VGA cable from the adapter to my monitor?
My VGA is a RX 550 and my monitor a AOC F19, both have a DVI-D Dual link connector. Can i use a DVI-D Single Link cable to connect my RX 550 to my monitor? Help please..
I have a not too old LED 1366X768, 16:9 VGA only monitor made by ASUS. Will a DVI-D converter like the one you showed in the video work with my monitor? I asked the store that sells the converter by phone and they told me that it won't work and that I shouldn't buy it. But I am not sure that this is 100% true. I have an ASUS Radeon HD7750 1 GB graphics card and I have it already connected it through a DVI-I to VGA connector. It works very well with my monitor. But maybe DVI-D is different than DVI-I that I now use and I am thinking of upgrading to a new GPU that will probably have DVI-D output only. Also could I possibly try a DisplayPort to VGA converter. Will that work with my 1366X768 16:9 monitor? Could you please tell me your opinion on my problem? I live in South Europe so I cannot call you, sorry.
Please help me here, I have a GTX 1060 6GB card on the way that supports a DVI-D dual link cable. I can't find a clear answer on google if the cable can produce sound or not since it's missing the analog part. If it can't make sound, how do I go about making any sound at all then?
The DVI cable does NOT transport the sound, only the image, but you can get a cable that has stereo jacks 3,5mm at both ends and you put one of them in the sound card audio out and the other one in the monitor at audio in (if necessary you can use an adapter from stereo jack to dual phono). I have seen on the market DVI cables with integrated audio jack cable that branches out of the connectors and they usually have the phono adapter included in the price.
can DVI dual link cable be connected to a DVI single link connector? I have a Gracphics card which has DVI single link connector but my monitor has DVI dual link connector. so please help me out anyone.
Finally learned the right terms after 4 years building my pc. My DVI-D(single link) connector is connected to DVI-D(dual link) on my monitor and graphics card.
Dude thank you so much, this video easily removed the headache of not knowing what DVI to get
100% Right 👍

Very informative. You just helped me figure out a problem I was having. I had an DVI -D plugged in a DVI- A port. I was wondering why it wasn't working. Thank you SIr.

Good Explanation. Did find one error. It was stated the speed of DVI-D Single is 4.59 Gbps but is actually 4.95 Gbps.

Hi, if I want to connect a dvi-d single to hdmi cable, in a dvi-d dual (output) of my phrafic card, it works?
Thanks bro 😊
Thank you for a useful information. By the way, if I accidentally inserted a DVI-D dual-link cable to a DVI-D single-link port graphics will it damage the port?
There is still one more type not mentioned, unless I missed it. It has a single flat blade and 3 rows of 10 pins. Not sure what it is used for. I have a HDMI to this type of adapter.
There are a million videos like this. How about a video about what you can do it your monitor has different options than your pc?
There seem to be a lot of conversion cables about, like DVI to HDMI and so on.

Last time I went to looks at monitors at the chain office store (the one with two names), they all had VGA connectors, and nothing had display port.
What DVI to HDMI adapter should I use if the card has two dual-link ports? (Nvidia 68000 GT)
Very informative video. Thank you!
Very nice upload
Can we extend the display by using both HDMI and DVI ports from the Graphic card

Unless you're really on a budget there is no reason not to get a DVI-D Dual Link cable.
Well done video. Are there any DVI cables that can send sound to an HDMI connected TV?
Nah
there are but you need to use a DVI-I Dual to achieve that, on a GPU through a DVI connection to a TV with an HDMI end, I did for almost 10 years and there's no noticeable bandwidth loss, but you need to use a dedicated GPU for the sound device to work, both nvidia & amd will work for this, intel already does it, I tried to use an on-board DVI port and that doesn't carry sound whatsoever so don't bother trying it, only on HDMI you will get sound if it comes directly from the mobo in most cases.
