Yes, as Sut explained, what you use depends on the connections available on your equipment. The wire itself is exactly the same for DVI and HDMI; the difference is whether both ends have a DVI or HDMI connector, or there's one of each.

A little more on your "quality" concern. HDMI is unfortunately creating yet another opportunity to sell pieces of wire at rip-off prices. Here's a review from the source Randy linked and here's another price comment. The link there to Better Cables has good info, although they don't happen to mention that equal cabling is available for about a tenth of what they charge for their "Display Magic".

JohnK, in the Link on your first reply can you tell me what length the HDMI-HDMI (Part#01772) cable on the very last item of the page is? It's probably too late in the night, but for some reason I'm not seeing the length.

Also not to hijack the thread but I'm looking at maybe installing a couple of HDMI/HDMI cables of about 45' for the room I'm working on. Is this too long of a run? Also I've read about needing an extender/repeater for longer runs with the HDMI cables, true?

Edit: Upon further review I now see the length is probably 15(M) meters or about 45 ft. Wow, that is a good price!

Yeah Rick, about 49 feet. It's said that with the equipment being of good quality a 24ga HDMI connection is good for at least 50 feet.
