DVI History

Shouldn't this have a little bit about the history of DVI? ie When it first surfaced, who was involved in its orginal design, perhaps a time line of any changes made to its spec, etc. So far, it seems to be limited to only technical information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.192.63.94 (talk) 01:59, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article improvement offer

There is a popular myth or reality, (i dont know) about using dual-link DVI over single-link for 1920x1080x24@60 mode. I offer to include some kind of answer to this question right in the technical details in this article. Because right now we can not figure the answer from this article, so it defenetely needs an improvement. To understand the basic question i will provide some more details below.

For example, let us assume that Single Link DVI takes exactly 1/100th second at 1920x1080x24@60 to transfer image to monitor because its bandwidth limits. Since image was generated i could be able to see it on screen only after 1/100th of second or more, depending on monitor input lag, but not less. Because it is the time required to transfer data over single-link DVI to monitor, considered for simplicity in our example. Out of that words - it seems, that Dual-Link DVI-D cable is able to transfer frame image from card to monitor exactly 2 times faster, lowering this latency twice, right to 1/200th of second for same 1920x1080x24@60 mode. And i can not figure out is it so or not from this article. So that's the point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xakepp35 (talk • contribs) 22:25, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

DVI speeds

I read that a DVI-D connection was better able to carry hi-res monitors than DVI-I. Are the speeds of the different flavours different? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.98.156.140 (talk) 09:59, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The non-DDWG DVI M1-DA Connector Image

Someone edited this article and inserted File:M1-DA.svg below the diagram for the standard DVI connectors listing it as "Male M1-DA connector pins (view of plug)" with "DVI M1-DA (Dual Link + USB)" as part of the picture. More correctly it should be called a "M1-P&D Connector," although I have seen it referred as an "M1-DA DVI Connector" in the literature because of its so-similar pin out. The use of the DVI acronym is not correct for this connector. As stated in the first sentence, this article is about "a video display interface developed by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG)." The M1-DA Interface is a VESA Standard, not a DDWG Standard and therefore its presence violates the intention of the article. Wikipedia has a discussion of this interface at VESA Plug and Display. Also, this image is not referenced anywhere in the text. My plan is to remove the image and add a comment with a link to VESA Plug and Display noting the similarity of the pin out. I will wait for some comment from someone else for a couple of weeks, before I do it.

If it were to stay, we would need a full pin description to match what is already there. The article VESA Plug and Display does not have a pin out description. That would be a good project for someone to do to match the quality of this article. Edward E Fairchild (talk) 03:11, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
