CVT-RB / GTF

The terms "CVT-RB blanking" and "GTF blanking" need to be defined/explained. I think it's reduced blanking and normal blanking (LCDs don't need time for the electron beam to get into position for the next line/frame), but need someone to confirm this. Look here: http://www.playtool.com/pages/dvicompat/dvi.htm

Phased out in new TVs?

Isn't DVI now being phased out in favor of HDMI in new TVs? Probably should write something about that.

DVI-D, DVI-I

It isn't clear whether all the modifications of DVI (like DVI-I, DVI-D, etc.) are compatible and male fit to female. Actually, just yersterday a salesman in an electronics shop was not able to explain it, and even wikipedia has nothing on it :(

DVI History

Shouldn't this have a little bit about the history of DVI? ie When it first surfaced, who was involved in its orginal design, perhaps a time line of any changes made to its spec, etc. So far, it seems to be limited to only technical information.

Audio in DVI?

The article states that "DVI is a video and audio interface standard", but mentions nothing about any audio capabilities of DVI. Even the list of connected pins does not contain any audio related connections. A few quick web searches seem to indicate that DVI does not support audio, and as such, I'm tempted to remove the part that says "and audio" from the article. Please comment on this, if you have any knowledge about this. JoaCHIP (talk) 13:43, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
