HDMI vs. DVI is an infinitely arguable question.

DVI and HDMI are very similar:

HDMI and DVI:
  • are both digital standards
  • both utilize TMDS (Transmission Minimized Differential Signaling)
  • both use balanced sgnals over twisted-pair cable
On the other hand:
  • DVI and HDMI use different physical connectors
  • DVI carries only video, while HDMI also carries audio
It seems to me that removing the need for a seperate audio cable reduces cable clutter and gives HDMI the edge -- barely.

However, I am not so sure that I am completely ready to give up my nice fat analog component cables for either of these new digital standards.
