What is the advantage of using a HDMI connection over DVI

Question

Other than the form factor (DVI cable looks clunkier) and the fact that HDMI also carries audio.

Is the video signal better?

Answer 1

For most applications, DVI and HDMI are both the same picture quality wise. The only difference is the connection type and the fact that HDMI can carry both video and audio.
