DVI or HDMI for connection to monitor

[cotswoldcs]

Which would be a better choice; HDMI or DVI? As they are both digital is there any difference. My media/ HTPC computer has both outputs on the video card? I'm looking at hooking it up to my Optoma 1080i HD projector.

Considering there is no difference between the old VGA analogue and DVI, I don't see how there would be any difference between two digital outputs for a PC. Although if your monitor support 1080i/p input, then HDMI would be better if outputting HI-DEF films from a blue ray source.

Also note that HDMI can carry an audio signal too, where as DVi can't.
