HDMI is better because it can send digital audio on the same cable, is a smaller connector (more portable) and can support 3D. DVI is better because it has a locking connector, can support both analog and digital video and does not need to support digital rights management, so can be easily split, copied and amplified.

What is the difference between 22awg and 28awg on HDMI cable?
HDMI cable is characterized by its performance rather than the lay up of the individual cables. The choice of a specific wire gauge makes no difference to the effectiveness of the cable. An approved and licensed HDMI cable will work flawlessly if it connected to licensed HDMI outputs and inputs. On the same note, expensive HDMI cables cannot deliver better quality images than cheap ones. The nature of HDMI signals means that the signal is either properly received by a television or not. There is no gradual loss of quality before the signal fails.
Is it true that HDMI cables provide the best quality HD picture because the audio and video connections is in the same cable?
There is no truth in the statement. HDMI is an interface that carries digital audio and video signals. The image quality is dependent entirely on the quality and resolution of the signal that is delivered to the HDMI port by the video source. The HDMI connectors and cable carry that signal to the receiver but the cable does not change it in any way at all. DVI is compatible with HDMI other than the fact that there is no audio carried with the video signal. The video signal is identical to that carried by an HDMI cable and so this alone proves that statement to be false.
Does HDMI cable carry video and audio?
HDMI is a connector standard designed fo rboth HD and SD video. It will carry both audio and video signals within the cable so it provides a single cable interface between equipment. It might be worth mentioning that DVI, the digital computer display interface that is gaining popularity is compatible with HDMI other than the fact that DVI does not carry audio. HDMI to DVI cables are available to connect computers to television displays. Therefore, any HDMI cable that has a DVI connector at one end or the other will not carry audio.
How do you display video on a philips tv using a HDMI to dvi cable that's connected to the pc via a dvi to vga adapter?
You cannot connect a HDMI to a VGA video output on a computer. VGA is an analog signal and the DVI adapter connects it to the analog pins on the DVI cable (a DVI-I cable has both analog and digital pins). A HDMI to DVI cable connects to the cable's digital pins, therefore, no connection is being made. The easiest way to do this is to upgrade your computer's video card to one with a HDMI output. These can be purchased for less than $50.00, and will allow you to connect your computer to your TV with one cable and no adapters.
Is HDMI better than vga?
HDMI and VGA are two interface standards for video signals. While the two are different, the quality of either of them is dependent on the source of the signal rather than the interface. Both are capable of carrying high definition signals. Indeed, VGA is used for higher resolutions that HDMI currently handles. HDMI is digital while VGA is analog. Although HDMI cables have restriction on length, the image quality will not degrade over a long cable run (subject to the maximum cable lengths). VGA signals can become degraded over long distances, showing up as smeared vertical edges on the display. HDMI carries audio data as well as video, so one cable does the job of a VGA and audio cable combined. It is worth noting that DVI is the digital standard for computer displays. DVI is fully compatible with HDMI video but it does not carry audio so it is a much closer equivalent to VGA. HDMI is becoming the standard for all commercial HD video content. It is getting almost impossible to purchase equipment that outputs any form of HD video on VGA or on analog component signals.

What kind of HDMI cable would you need for a Toshiba laptop and a vizio HDTV?
Any HDMI cable that has an HDMI logo will work. All HDMI products need to be tested and licensed by the HDMI organization. If a cable passes the test, it works. If HDMI cables work, they work as well as ANY other HDMI cable. The digital nature of the signal means that high cost cables do not deliver a better quality image than low cost cables. So, select the lowest cost cable in the store - it will be every bit as good as the most expensive.

Which HDMI works best on Dish Network?
HDMI is a digital interface that conforms to specific standards set out by the HDMI Organization. Any licensed and tested cable that conforms to the specification for HDMI cabling will operate as well as any other. The nature of the data transmission used by HDMI interfaces means that no cable will provide better quality than any other. Claims by manufacturers that their cable will provide "better quality" images are at best misleading. While some cables may be more robust than others this does not in any way affect image quality.
