[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1573208, member: 24160"] RGB in this context is referring to using a VGA cable. DVI is not only the name of a port and cable. In this case it stands for "digital video input" and your mini displayport output is a digital video output (which includes DVI, Displayport, HDMI, Thunderbolt) vs analog (which would be composite, VGA, and component). Related to TVs, the manufacturers refer to all digital video outputs that do not carry audio as DVI. And actually, because Apple was the first one out of the gate with Displayport, there could be, but I'm not aware of any other manufacturer that put out a device with Displayport that does not carry both video and audio.
