The analog part of DVI is compatible with standard VGA monitors. ... Because of that physical difference, you can plug a DVI-D cable into a DVI-I connector but you can't plug a DVI-I cable into a DVI-D connector. A DVI-D cable is wired only for the digital video signal. DVI-D cables can't carry analog signals.
