2 Questions: Hyundai Q17 and DVI-I

From what I remember, the Q17 actually had several different models (e.g. Q17A, Q17B, Q17S) so it was hard to tell which one was the Hydis and which ones weren't. I don't remember what other panel(s) the others used, but probably either a Samsung or an AUO.

As for your DVI question, a DVI-I(ntegrated) contains pins for both DVI-D(igital) and DVI-A(nalog). The DVI-D is the connector used for LCD monitors, while DVI-A is used for HDTVs and some CRT monitors. In short, yes, the extra 5 pins are used primarily to provide a signal to analog sources, which may need a converter if the particular source does not have a DVI-A input. Most manufacturers of video cards put the DVI-I connector on their cards to cover all their bases.

There would be no difference if you connected a DVI-D LCD to a DVI-I video card using either a DVI-I or DVI-D cable. You typrically don't find a DVI-I connection on a LCD, since it doesn't need the analog component. DVI-I connections are mainly used on video cards to help it connect to different kinds of devices.
