The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is a video interface standard covering the transmission of video between a source device (such as a personal computer) and a display device, and is notable for being the first digital video transmission cable-interface to achieve widespread acceptance in the PC industry, both in desktop/laptop PCs and monitors. The vast majority of desktop PCs and LCD monitors feature a DVI interface, and many other devices (such as projectors and consumer televisions) support DVI indirectly through HDMI, another video interface standard.

DVI was developed by an industry consortium, the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) to replace the "legacy analog technology" VGA connector standard.[1] It is designed for carrying uncompressed digital video data to a display. It is partially compatible with the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) standard in digital mode (DVI-D), and VGA in analog mode (DVI-A). It is also still found in some consumer television sets, despite having been superseded in this application by a HDMI, another video interface standard.
