Windows 10: HDMI and DVI

On PC monitors is the image better on a "HDMI" then a "DVI" connection?

:)

 

Continuum display dock work with a DVI monitor?

Yes, should be no different using HDMI to HDMI or HDMI to DVI with either a converter or an HDMI to DVI cable. DVI does of course not support audio (normally), so you will loose that, if the monitor supports audio over HDMI.

 

If I unplug the HDMI cord from my secondary monitor (which is nonetheless numbered "1"), my primary monitor, which is DVI (nonetheless numbered "2"), immediately cuts out!

This is a problem because I have to lend out my HDMI monitor. However, without the HDMI plugged in, my computer will not display at all to my DVI monitor. I can enter the BIOS, but as soon as Windows boots, the DVI cuts out. However, if I connect a monitor
to my HDMI port, the display immediately pops back up to my DVI monitor (even without a power cable attached to the HDMI monitor)! It doesn't matter whether I have the display extended or duplicated, if I unplug the HDMI, the DVI will not display-not even
after a hard reset with only DVI plugged in. Additionally, if from the display options I select, "show only on 2" (my primary DVI monitor), the display cuts out just like I had unplugged the HDMI. Help! (Radeon 7800 graphics card, Windows 10)

 

Not that the eye can tell both are the same quality and resolution , some differences are HDMI can also carry audio DVI can not and DVI cables don’t all support HDCP copy protection as a standard. This is a system that prevents HD content such as BluRay videos from being played on unauthorised devices.

HDCP stands for High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection, a copy protection scheme to eliminate the possibility of intercepting digital data midstream between the source to the display.
