(pronounced as separate letters) (1) Short for Digital Visual Interface, a digital interface standard created by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) to convert analog signals into digital signals to accommodate both analog and digital monitors. Data is transmitted using the transition minimized differential signaling (TMDS) protocol, providing a digital signal from the PC's graphics subsystem to the display. The standard specifies a single plug and connector that encompass both the new digital and legacy VGA interfaces, as well as a digital-only plug connector. DVI handles bandwidths in excess of 160 MHz and thus supports UXGA and HDTV with a single set of links. Higher resolutions can be supported with a dual set of links. \n(2) Short for Digital Video Interactive, a now-defunct technology developed by General Electric that enables a computer to store and display moving video images like those on television. The most difficult aspect of displaying TV-like images on a computer is overcoming the fact that each frame requires an immense amount of storage. A single frame can require up to 2MB (megabytes) of storage. Televisions display 30 frames per second, which can quickly exhaust a computer's mass storage resources. It is also difficult to transfer so much data to a display screen at a rate of 30 frames per second. \n\nDVI overcomes these problems by using specialized processors to compress and decompress the data. DVI is a hardware -only codec (compression/decompression) technology. A competing hardware codec, which has become much more popular, is MPEG. Intel has developed a software version of the DVI algorithms, which it markets under the name Indeo

DVB-H(Digital Video Broadcasting - Handheld) \nThe standard for direct broadcast television in Europe and the U.S. Based on MPEG2 Compression.\n\n\nDVB, short for Digital Video Broadcasting, is a suite of internationally accepted, open standards for digital television maintained by the DVB Project, an industry consortium with more than 300 members, and published by a Joint Technical Committee (JTC) of European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) and European Broadcasting Union (EBU).The standards can be obtained for free at the ETSI website after registration.

Computers don't emit harmful rays, only a bit of RF noise.\n\nCRT monitors, on the other hand, emit a small amount of radiation. This is such a small amount that it is harmless, but if you want to avoid it then you should get an LED monitor instead.

That could get extremely detailed, but here is a simplified explanation that can fit here.\nThe TV screen is a collection of little pixels, one besides the other, arranged in lines.  The camera that takes the picture that is to be shown on TV grabs the image and then evaluates the color in each pixel of each line, and each lines, and sends that information as a signal.  The TV receptor receiving that signal (that could have been encoded, sent by cable or through radio waves, etc) then gets a signal that essentially says "first line" followed by the description of each pixels.  Then it sends the third line (the even lines are sent after the odd ones, this is what is called interlacing) and the 5th and so on until the end of the half picture.  The electronics in the TV use the signal to project a beam of electron of variable intensity to a target that is made of fluorescent phosphor, that light up as a result, and you see the picture from the other side.  Evidently, if your TV is a LCD or a plasma unit, the technology to actually reproduce the image varies from the old cathodic tube method, but the result is the same, you get an image.

Depends on the device.\n\nLaser printers generally print at 300/600/1200 dpi.\nTypical monitors display 72 dpi to 96 dpi, though technically these are *pixels* per inch, not dots.\n\nThere is no standard for how big a "dot" has to be... so if you can make it sufficiently small, you can have a near infinite number of dots per inch.\n\nGenerally, printers with higher DPI produce clearer and more detailed output. The DPI measurement of a printer is dependent upon several factors, including the method by which ink is applied, the quality of the printer components, and the quality of the ink and paper used. A dot matrix printer, for example, applies ink via tiny rods striking an ink ribbon, and has a relatively low resolution, typically in the range of 60 to 90 DPI. An inkjet printer sprays ink through tiny nozzles, and is typically capable of 1200 DPI, with high end inkjet printers capable of 9600 DPI. A laser printer applies toner through a controlled electrostatic charge, and may be in the range of 600 to 1200 DPI.\n\nThe DPI measurement of a printer often needs to be considerably higher than the pixels per inch (PPI) measurement of a video display in order to produce similar-quality output. This is due to the limited range of colors typically available on a printer: most color printers use only four colors of ink, while a video monitor can often produce several million colors. Each dot on a printer can be one of only four colors, while each pixel on a video monitor can be one of several million colors; printers must produce additional colors through a halftone or dithering process.\n\nThe printing process could require a region from four to six dots on each side in order to faithfully reproduce the color contained in a single pixel. An image that is 100 pixels wide may need to be 400 to 600 dots in width in the printed output; if a 100×100-pixel image is to be printed inside a one-inch square, the printer must be capable of 400 to 600 dots per inch in order to accurately reproduce the image.

The DVI connector usually contains pins to pass the DVI-native digital video signals. In the case of dual-link systems, additional pins are provided for the second set of data signals.\n\nThe DVI connector may also incorporate pins to pass through the legacy analog signals using the VGA standard. This feature was included in order to make DVI universal, as it allows either type of monitor (analog or digital) to be operated from the same connector.\n\nThe DVI connector on a device is therefore given one of three names, depending on which signals it implements:\n\nDVI-D (digital only) \nDVI-A (analog only) \nDVI-I (digital and analog)

It's not possible to make a "simple" cable from composit RGB to DVI.\n\nBecause Composite RGB and DVI are different standards, you'll need to get a conversion box.\n\nHere's a link to some converters that may serve your purpose.\nhttp://www.lenexpo-electronics.com/

i heard of it. dvi is like a movie thing . and vga too. its a codec making thingie for making copies of moveis. they can all be played by windows media player if you have a codec software, so i dont think i care that much since i only watch the dvi and vga, not making them.

i think your probably talking about the ADC on the studio displays apple sold before the new silver cinima ones. If so yes there is an adapter ADC to DVI you can buy at any mac store (or store that sells mac) its about 140 canadian.\n\nif you are however talking about the new cinima display with the dvi connection then you will have to buy a VGA to DVI connecter and you can get that at any computer store.\n\neither way make sure the adapter has the male and female ports where you need them.\n\nIf your talking about the super old monitor connector that was on one or two versions of the quadra pro then there is no hope for you sorry but i doubt anyone would want one of those monitors

Yes, I think you can.  You need a DVI to DVI plug, or DVI to VGA

The question is wrong. \n\nApple does not have other technics in its monitors. They use always TFT from Sony inside.\n\nThe sticker on it is Apple. Inside the monitor is Sony's system.\nApple itself does produce monitors with some modifications.\n\nBut generally Sony's TFT (Thin Film Transistor) system that exist now already many years was a revolution for the quality of monitors and is used by all Monitor factories around the world.\n\n\nFor example the Flagship of Apple:\n\nApple Cinema 20" Flat-Panel Display \n\nTechnical Details \n\nScreen size (diagonal viewable image size): 20 inches (viewable)\nScreen type: Thin film transistor (TFT-SONY) active-matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD)\nOptimum resolution: 1680 by 1050 pixels (optimum resolution)\nOther resolutions: 1280 by 800 pixels, 1024 by 640 pixels\nDisplay colors (maximum): 16.7 million\nViewing angle (typical): 170° horizontal; 170° vertical\nBrightness (typical): 250 cd/m2\nContrast ratio (typical): 400:1\nResponse time (typical): 16 ms\nPixel pitch: 0.258 mm\nScreen treatment: Antiglare hardcoat\nUser controls (hardware and software): Display power, system sleep, system wake, brightness and display tilt\nCables: DVI (Digital Visual Interface), FireWire 400, USB 2.0 and DC power (24.5 V)\n \nnice greetings

Conserves energy, supports very high resolutions, portable, sexy.\n\nNote: Viewing angle is still a trouble..... you don't have that problem in CRT monitors. The picture becomes negetive & colour changes when we increase the viewing angle of a TFT screen.

every image you see on your screen consists of a number of small units called : pixels.\n\nthe (Resolution) is a standard mean to measure images  quality. the resolution is measured by a unit called DPI\n\nDPI means : Dot Per Inch ..\na dot = one pixel\nthe pixels are these tiny squares you see when you zoom in on an image to the extreme zoom. \n\nyou may open any image on the windows MS-paint and zoom in on any colorful area to see those squares/pixels\n\nthe resolution of 300 DPI is specially required as a standard High quality resolution (Hi-Res) for indoor printings such as the flayers or the invitations for concerts & so on.\n\na lower resolution could be acceptable in outdoors printings such as road billboards and so on. \noutdoors resolution vary from 200dpi to 30dpi .. and may be less.. depending on the distance between the printed object and the expected viewrs .. the larger tha distance is the lower the resolution you need to set your image in.\n\na standard equation to determine the resolution for your outdoor is ..  \nresolution = 300 / distance in meters\ne.g if you want to print a poster that can't be seen from a  distance closer than 2 meters .. you may set your image resolution to 150 dpi only. \nRes. = 300 / 2 meters = 150 dpi \n\nthe higher the resolution/dpi is .. \n1 -the larger the image get on your computer screen ..  \n2- the better it looks when printed (in offset printing)..\n3- the larger space it takes on your hard drive.
