Question DVI Cable Question

Hello I want to connect my computer to my television using a DVI cable.

My Tele has a DVI D connection at the the back and so does my computer, there are some pictures at the bottom.

Do any of you know what cable i would need to do this. Could you point me in the right direction.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Like this one...

Or like this one...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dual-Link-Ca...431521&sr=8-23

If you look at the pictures the pins are different. Do I want a single link or a duel like?

Thanks John

Re: DVI Cable Question

The connection on the back of the tele and on the back of the computer are both the same, DVI d.

I just need to know which lead to go for. The single link seems to have less pins than the duel link. The duel link matches the socket on the computer and tele.

Thanks John

Re: DVI Cable Question

Go for the dual link cable as it is the 'newer' one. If your equipment supports dual link it will be better as it can support a higher resolution, so should be better quality.
