Which connection type is typically used for high-definition video transfer?

The connection type that is typically used for high-definition video transfer is DVI (Digital Visual Interface). DVI is designed to carry a video signal from a source, such as a computer, to a display device, such as a monitor or projector. It supports high-definition resolutions while maintaining the quality of the digital signal. DVI can transmit uncompressed digital video, which is key for high-definition content, including resolutions that exceed 1080p.

In contrast, VGA (Video Graphics Array) is an older analog connection that does not support high-definition resolutions as effectively, resulting in lower image quality compared to digital connections. USB, while versatile for many devices, is not primarily used for video display; it is commonly used for peripheral connections and data transfer. Coaxial connections are primarily used for cable television and internet, and while they can carry video signals, they are not designed for high-definition video transfer in the same way DVI is.
