DVI vs HDMI which is better and why?

[Happy Crayfish]

So, as I said in the title I want to know which one is better and why it is better?
Do you get any quality loss when using one of them?

Also, while asking...
Should I get 144z with 80 million:1 dyn contrast or
60hz 100million:1 dyn contrast? :3

If using a setup supported by both then no difference except HDMI carries audio. However going higher frequencies and higher resolution you may need to go Display Port

As for which monitor, what is your pc spec and what type of games do you play. There is no best, you need something that suits your needs

If you're referring to TN, then those two are probably about equal in terms of contrast. The dynamic contrast you listed don't mean anything in the real world, it's a spec designed to make products stand out. Same goes for response time.

Not sure what TN is, and the dynamic doesn't matter at all? How do I know which screens are better?
Acer GN246HL 1080p 144Hz Monitor seems good.

According to a guy on youtube you need a DVI-D cable to get 144hz.
100 million to 1 dynamic contrast, 1080p.
Not sure how to see if it's actually good though.

I don't build a pc / get a new screen to play a specific game/do a specific task.
I want it to be good at gaming, I want the graphics to be as good as possible.

My specifications :
GeForce GTX 970 Gaming 4G (4g Vram)
Intel Core i7-4790K (not overclocked) 4.0ghz quad core
16 gb of ram
mobo MSI Z97 Gaming
SSD : Samsung Evo 850

Think thats all important stuff.

I'm getting a screen that does't have Display Port but DVI-D. It has 144hz.
According to youtube I need to use a DVI-D cable to get 144hz and a HDMI cable won't get 144hz.
