Want to make your presentations “pop” or add new clarity to your spreadsheets? If you are using a modern projector, large-screen plasma or LCD display, one simple connection can more than double your viewing quality.
That connection is called Digital Visual Interface (or DVI as it’s more commonly known). The connector type is found on most recent projectors and many LCD/plasma displays. The secret of DVI’s clarity comes from the fact it allows pure digital display.
Older analog technology, often referred to as VGA, requires a computer to convert the digital graphics to analog, send them along an analog cable to the monitor or projector, then convert them back into digital signals for display. This means that the desktop or laptop computer you use can connect digitally to the display or projector, bypassing the digital-to-analog-to-digital process and yielding exceptional picture quality.
To help identify whether you have a DVI connector on your laptop, desktop or display device, we’ll look at the three different types of connectors – M1DA, DVI and HDMI.
