Is DVI to HDMI better than DVI to DVI?

[mr.13secprobe]

My computer video card has only two DVI outputs.

I know there are DVI to HDMI cable for HDMI LCD monitors.

Are they supposed to be better than DVI to DVI?

DVI and HDMI are the exact same as far as video goes. The only difference is that HDMI can carry audio. But if you are starting with DVI there would be no difference.

yup, its all about resolution, and both are quite capable of carrying the highest. I just use DVI to my tv, I have a lot more DVI's lying around then HDMI cables.

Depends on the DVI. You want DVD-D for high res.
