What is a HDMI-DVI cabel?

Answer 1

It is expressly used only for High Definition Televisions. It is designed to give you the best quality for an H. D. picture.

Most all new H. D. T.V.s have a HDMI-DVI connection

If you have cable or sattlelite H.D. Channels you will get the best picture with this cable

Answer 2

HDMI (high definition media interface) is for hd movies for example if you want to play a hd movie on your laptop and have it going on to a tv you can use this cable

Answer 3

The DVI cable came first but only contained the wires for video.

Then they added wires for audio, changed the connector to create HDMI.

A HDMI-DVI cable has the HDMI connector on one end, and the DVI connector on the other end.  But only the video wires are connected between the two.

Answer 4

It's a video cable that has a HDMI connection on one end, and a DVI connection on the other.

This cable can carry HD signals up to 1080p but unlike a normal HDMI cable, this cable can ONLY carry a video signal.

Many older HDTVs don't have a HDMI port but do have a DVI port, which is essentially just the video signal that HDMI normally carries.  So this cable just delivers the video part to the TV, while ignoring/discarding the audio.  Because of this you still need a separate audio cable connected to the TV and/or receiver.
