    Re: need help

     Here

    The DVI guide writes that if the source is a DVI-I and the monitor is DVI-D, I would need a DVI-D Dual-Link digital cable. However, both ends of that cable are the 24pin plus blade pin and my source (graphics card) is a DVI-I Dual link. So, would I not need one end of the DVI-D Dual-link cable to have 24pins plus two pins above and below the blade pin?

    The four surrounding pins on the DVI-I cable are to carry the analog portion of the DVI-I signal, useful for converting to VGA or other analog sources. They are not used in the digital-only DVI-D signal.

    The guide is correct: for a DVI-I to DVI-D connection, you will want to use a DVI-D to DVI-D cable.
