HDMI and DVI are essentially exactly the same thing (i think ) its just that you can send audio over hdmi whereas you can with DVI

hdmi and dvi are completely different, dvi is just a digital version of vga whereas hdmi carries both picture and sound

DVI is exactly hdmi minus sound, it's completely different from vga although can still carry an analougue signal, ie vga if need be.

I would not say completly different

dvi is just a digital version of vga
hdmi is just a digital version of vga + carries audio

not exactly that different are they?
