Is there any quality difference between HDMI-HDMI and HDMI-DVI?

[Bunny12]

Hello,
I am planning to buy a PS 4 soon - unfortunatelly I have no full HD TV, I only have a good monitor. This monitor doesnt support HDMI connection though so Im thinking about HDMI to DVI cable.
Is there any quality loss? Does anyone have some experinces with this? Thanks a lot.

None. The shielding could be different though. Won't work with a PS4, you have to first HDMI -> HDMI, then disable HDCP after you've updated the console.

Thanks. So that "HDCP" is something like a control of connection that is recommended by SONY? It should be no problem to connect it to TV with HDMI for the first time. BTW: This HDCP stuff isnt on Xbox one at all right?(just to know..)

No, HDCP is an HDMI standard to prevent media theft. If not all devices in the chain, you will get no picture. Both Sony and Microsoft released an system update, so that consumers got the ability to toggle HDCP on and off. Though I believe that the Xbox One does this automatically. You will need an internet connection and HDMI -> HDMI to be able to get a picture, so that you can disable HDCP. Keep in mind that once disabled, apps, etc, requires the HDCP handshake, but games don't.

That monitor specs state hdcp over dvi-d so there should be no problem.

In fact its pretty much confirmed to work if you Google it.

OK then, I think that should be no problem to do. Thank you.
