1) What is the difference between Dual Link and Single Link?Which do I need?
Dual link enables a higher resolution (1920 X 1080) and more channels. You can view 2 displays simultaniously. If in doubt, order the Dual Link cable because it is backwards compatible with Single Link.
2) I need a DVI-I to DVI-D cable - What part number do I buy?
A DVI-I enables digital and analog signals. A DVI-D only allows digital signals. The part number to buy is DVIDL-length
3) Why are your DVI cables so much less?
You are coming right to the source. Our cables meet all wiring specifications. We don't know why everybody else is so expensive.
4) Is there a distance limitation?
Yes. For digital DVI cables there is a 5 Meter distance limitation. If you go longer the video results will be unpredictable and not guaranteed.
5) What is the TFT LCD?
TFT stands for "Thin Film Transistor" and describes the control elements that actively control the individual pixels. For this reason, one speaks of so-called "active matrix TFT's". LCD means "Liquid Crystal Display" and stands for monitors that are based on liquid crystals.
6) What's the difference between CRTs size and TFT size?
The visible diagonal size of a CRT tub monitor is always smaller than the tube's actual diagonal size. For example: a 17-inch CRT monitor has an edge area and it's visible diagonal is only 16-inches. But TFT LCD monitors do not have an edge area. This means that a 15-inch TFT LCD monitor is almost the same as the 17-inch CRT monitor.
7) What's the Contrast Ratio?
The Contrast Ratio is derived from the maximum and the minimum values for brightness.
8) What's the difference netween Digital and Analog Interface? Any advantages or disadvantages?
TFT LCD monitors with an analog VGA interface dominate the market. Because it is easy to install PC basis and not purchase a new graphics board. Although digital TFT LCD monitors don't need to adjust clock and phase and the no signal losses advantage. The Digital Interface standard has totally different connectors and it is not easy to buy a suitable graphic board. So the analog TFT LCD monitors still dominate the market. The following table gived you an overview of the most important points:
Digital Control
Advantages
No signal losses due to DA and AD conversion
Geometry, clock and phase settings unnecessary - therefore simple to use
Lower costs as less electronic circuitry required
Disadvantages
Currently three standards (P & D (M1DA), DFP, and DVI)
Low availability of models with digital interfaces
Requires graphic board with digital output
Analog Control
Advantages
Compatible with standard VGA boards on a broad installed PC basis
Not necessary to purchase seperate board
Disadvantages
Clock and phase of the TFTs must be synchronized with the analog signal to avoid pixel jitter, which is a relatively complex issue
Cables sensitive to external influences
High cost of signal conversion inside the display
Upgrade to digital interface not possible
