    Here's my situation: My new LCD TV (westinghouse w4207) has a DVI-D slot. My video card, however, has a DVI-I slot. If I use a DVI-D cable, can I plug it into my DVI-I Slot in my video card? Would the signal be worse than if my video card had a DVI-D slot? If so, how much worse? Finally, since my TV and PC support the "dual link" cables, should I buy those instead of the "single link" cables?

  2. Using a DVI-D should work fine. DVI-I has additional pins for analog video but the digital pins are the same.

    I believe a dual link DVI cable would add the ability to use 1920x1080p60. But your TV probably doesn't suppport that resolution so a single link cable will do. A dual link cable won't hurt as long as both devices have a dual link connector.
