what is difference between dvi and dvi-d null

Most current NVIDIA based graphics cards feature a Digital Video Interface (DVI) connector for connecting a digital flat panel LCD monitor or projector to the card. A DVI connector is characteristically colored white (as opposed to a VGA connector which is colored blue). For every graphics card that features a DVI connector, the number of pins and layout of the pins on the DVI connector will vary depending on what type of DVI connector is found on the graphics card. A DVI-D connector on a graphics card sends out a digital signal only, while a DVI-I connector, which carries both an analog and digital signal, can send out a digital signal (for digital displays such as flat panel LCD monitors) as well as analog signal (for older displays such as a CRT monitor) using a DVI to VGA adapter

A DVI-D connector sends out a digital signal only, while a DVI-I connector, which carries both an analog and digital signal, which means that you can use a VGA adaptor with DVI-I and connect it to a (usaually blue) VGA connetor. DVI-D is digital only. BTW a DVI-D connector will fit on a DVI-I but not the other way around as their are extra pins.

A DVI-D connector on a graphics card sends out a digital signal only, while a DVI-I connector, which carries both an analog and digital signal, can send out a digital signal (for digital displays such as flat panel LCD monitors) as well as analog signal (for older displays such as a CRT monitor) using a DVI to VGA adaptor shown below. The graphics card shown in Figure 1 which shows a DVI-I connector contains more pins than the DVI-D connector shown in Figure 2. The extra pins on a DVI-I connector carry the analog signal which the DVI-D connector does not have.

DVI Technology encompasses both DVI-I and DVI-D. The DVI interface is a precursor technology to HDMI. While both DVI and HDMI give you high resolution viewing, it hasn't been till recent years that manufacturers started making HDMI ports on both TV's AND monitors for computers. Graphics cards have advanced to using HDMI as well, but many still include DVI ports to accommodate those mid-technology products still using DVI.
