🛠️ Quick Tips for Beginners
🧠 Identify DVI type by pin layout:
DVI-D: 24+1 pins
DVI-I: 24+5 pins
🔍 Use gold-plated connectors for better contact and durability
🧼 Clean ports gently—dust can cause flickering or sync issues
🏷️ Label adapters clearly in multi-format setups
🎨 Use in AV racks, wall plates, or tight installations where gender flip is needed
