Well I picked DVI, digital video input. We'll see how that works.

VGA = Video Graphics Array. The video standard that's been in p0lace

for something like twenty years now. It's an analog signal.

 

DVI = Digital Video Interface. A DVI connector has digital video data

and (optionally) also analog video data. That makes it easy to

construct an adapter to plug into a DVI connector, but have a VGA

connector on the other end, to run a VGA monitor. DVI carries video

only, no audio.

 

HDMI = High Definition Multimedia Interface. Carries digital hi-def

video as well as audio. State of the art connection, but CAUTION:

these things can be infested with DRM restrictions that automatically

downgrade video quality if you're not doing something approved by the

manufacturer and the signal supplier.

Tim Slattery, do you know if DVI is supported in Windows 98 Second Edition?

I have an Ati Radeon 9800 XT board with Windows ME drivers in 98 SE.
