Hi Everyone,

I have a doubt regarding HDMI vs DVI. As far as I know,

DVI - Digital transmission of signal
HDMI - DVI + Audio

So, is there gonna be any difference between the DVI and HDMI option with a Non speaker Monitor. I think the HDMI and DVI are same when it comes to video. Please excuse me if my doubt is noobish, bt pls someone clarify.

Thnx in advance.

So long as your DVI output is compatible with HDCP, you should be all set.

It depends on the monitor. You just need to make sure the colorspace matches. As long as the source colorspace matches the monitor's colorspace on that input, you'll be fine. However, if your source is a bluray player's HDMI output that puts out 16-235, and your monitor's DVI expects a computer colorspace of 0-255, it'll be mismatched.
