DVI-D to DVI-I Result: - Use DVI-D to DVI-D Cable

Both your source device AND your display device both are capable of handling digital DVI transmissions so for this application you will need a DVI-D Cable to connect these devices.  You will need to determine what resolution you are trying to reach, as the higher resolutions are only supported by Dual Link DVI Cables.  Most people, however, will only require Single Link DVI.  Single TMDS link DVI cable can support resolutions and timings that use a video clock rate of about 25-165 MHz.  A dual link DVI-D cable, on the other hand, will handle up to 330 MHz and is backwards compatible with single link.  Thus if you are unsure which type you need, the dual link will work where the single link may not.  In order to determine your required bandwidth just multiply your desired resolution by your desired refresh rate (ie. 1600x1200 x 70 = 134 MHz).  These are the cables you may need and some adapters you may find useful for your application.  Should you have any questions, please feel free to click the Live Chat link on the bottom left hand side of this page.
