You're entitled to that opinion. I don't hate you for it. I would be lying to say I understood.

DVI could operate in three modes, either DVI-A, which was basically just VGA adapted to the DVI connector, DVI-D, which is the primary digital mode, then there was dual link which doubled the bandwidth for the DVI digital mode, allowing higher resolutions and higher refresh rates.

By comparison HDMI can only do a single digital link.

DVI is great IMO.

I am not going to lie, while I appreciate the 3 modes that is the part that I think I ended up hating, not that it could do that but that so many times you would get either a cable or a port that would only accept -a or more often -d made it incredably hard.

I can also appreciate that on paper DVI is amazing and should still be arround, (also Displayport should be more popular than HDMI ... HDMI should be the port in the grave) it does not mean I do not have this irrational hatred for DVI that makes no sense at all...

I'm not judging. I just wanted to detail a couple of my favorite things about it.

I'm not foolish enough to think I'm going to change your mind about it. Your criticisms are valid, and you are free to like or dislike anything you wish.

Have a good day.
