What is DVI

by mudfish67 Sep 2, 2005 6:41AM PDT

My monitor (ViewSonic 17in flat screen) and my video card (Radeon X800 Pro) have a connection for a DVI cable. What exactly is this? Is it a better connection than the standard monitor cable? Thanks for any help that anyone can swing my way.

The link below should tell you all you need to know.

If you want more, a search of Google for "DVI cable" gives you lots of links to choose from.

Hope this helps.
