Single link DVI-D, enjoy your max 1920x1200. I guess you're not needing DVI-I audio.

not dvi but I think it's neat how hdmi can actually carry ethernet over it, unfortunately no one seems to actually use this.

you can find dvi cables without all the pins populated, but looks like the one you bought doesn't have that probelm.

look would you rather have more conductors or less conductors.

personally, I think more is better, especially when it comes to conductors

Same, I wouldn't want to miss out on any extra functionality when I need it most. You've convinced me.

I bought a long HDMI cable last year for gaming on television through steam big picture. Can't really see myself in the market for cables unless something goes wrong with one of my current cables. Knock on wood. That's a nice DVI cable though.
