I have reported you to the appropriate authorities.
I thought unless you were using the HDMI for sound as well DVI was just as good.
It is. DVI is HDMI without the audio portion. There was two different DVI connections for a time. One for a computer and the other for a television. They were pin for pin compatible, but electrically different. Not so much today.
Regardless, DVI is equal to HDMI for video.
