DVI-D HDMI adapter?

[Erothes]

So I bought a monitor (LG Flatron W2252TQ) recently for my my that I am building, which was completely a steal! I bought it for around 13 dollars when a new model costs around 135 dollars, it hasnt been used in the last few years but it works perfectly fine and no scratches, I got very lucky, but anyways onto the question.
So the monitor came with ofcourse the power cord for the monitor, and the other cord which connects to your computer. The cord is DVI-D and the monitor has only 1 DVI-D plug, but whats interesting is that there is also an adapter at the end (yes, you can remove it if you want to) and the adapter is DVI-D to HDMI, so I was wondering if it changes anything like makes it a bit better since I know that HDMI is better than DVI and faster, does it? Or is it just an adapter for those computers which do not have a DVI-D port? Thanks in advance!

DVI-D and HDMI have the same quality and functions for most stuff, except of course if you need ethernet or higher resolutions that DVI doesn't support. But for most monitors, it's actually just a passive "adapter" that accepts both signals. Meaning that for the monitor, it's the same if the signal is being sent over HDMI or DVI, since both of them use the same method for communicating with the monitor. It's more like a "shape" adapter rather than a converter. Audio is also supported in some cases, so there's nothing to lose.

As long as one of both ends doesn't fall short in terms of capabilities, when using adapters for DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort there's really no difference. You may run into situations where certain refresh rate or a very high resolution isn't supported, but if you are dealing with the kind of equipment that does, then you will probably know what's going on. The 3 of them are digital and unlike VGA or older standards, they are not affected by quality loss. Either you get picture or you don't.
