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.

I have found discussions on the Web using Google that refer to this particular image in this article where it is clear that it has led to confusion for multiple people as it did me.

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]

Protocol?

The article claims: "Protocol: 3 × transition minimized differential signaling data and clock" - Wouldn't "6x transition minimized differential signaling and clock" be more correct, as single-link DVI (with 3x TMDS) is only a subset of DVI? 87.189.122.81 (talk) 20:34, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
