DVI-A, DVI-I single-link and DVI-D

The analog/digital distinction comes before an adapter choice.

Computer-generated illustration, not a photograph. — P117 · ConnectorDVI-A connector

How they differ

DVI-A connector Read the DVI-A label and compare the documented arrangement. Do not infer signal conversion from a mechanical adapter.
DVI-I single-link connector Compare the documented DVI-I single-link layout, including the blade area. The drawing here is not a pin assignment.
DVI-D single-link connector Inspect the contact pattern rather than the outer housing alone. The schematic is not a wiring diagram and deliberately has no pin numbers.

DVI-D single-link vs DVI-D dual-linkBoth are DVI-D forms, but their contact patterns differ. Inspect the complete pin field instead of relying on the DVI label alone.DisplayPort connector vs DisplayPort 2.1The full-size DisplayPort connector does not identify the implemented DisplayPort generation, link rate or optional features.DisplayPort vs Mini DisplayPortFull-size DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort are different physical forms. Mini DisplayPort shape also appeared on Thunderbolt 1/2 products, so function still needs device evidence.DVI-D dual-link vs DVI-I dual-linkDVI-D and DVI-I use related shells but have different contact arrangements. The analog-contact area is a key physical distinction.HDMI connector vs HDMI 2.1HDMI Type-A describes a connector form; HDMI 2.1 describes a technology family. The connector shape alone cannot establish the implemented HDMI feature set.HDMI Type-A vs DisplayPort connectorHDMI and DisplayPort are different connector families.
