HDMI and DVI are not identical. There are some limitations to HDMI that DVI does not posses.
My 3007WFPs would cry if there were no more DVI ports.
Or, how many monitors these days do not have HDMI or DP ports or both? Stick an adapter in the package if you must, but really, modern monitors have had HDMI or DP or both for years now. DVI was deprecated a decade ago. Get rid of it!
The adapter you suggest only supports single-link, up to 1920x1200.
In order to pass through 2560x1600 (dual link) connection you need an active DP to DVI adapter, much more expensive.
No! Most monitors still come with only DVI,
HDMI is useless and DP is not common enough.
can you do 144Hz with HDMI? problem solved.
TONs of DVI only monitors out there still.
But they're a very small minority of monitors currently on sale.

A lot of monitor makes do package a DVI adapter for their monitors that have only HDMI. However, DP is still in a small amount of monitors compared with those equipped with HDMI/DVI. If anything, I'd like to see VGA go away.
Intel and a host of other companies resolved to make VGA and DVI go away in 2010. They are being deprecated in favor of DP and HDMI respectively. DVI has been unmaintained for almost 10 years now, with no one putting any effort into improving it.
Intel and AMD expect that analog display outputs such as Video Graphics Array (VGA) and the low voltage differential signaling technology (LVDS) panel interface would no longer be supported in their product lines by 2015.
...
Intel plans to end support of LVDS in 2013 and VGA in 2015 in its PC client processors and chipsets.
AMD plans to begin phasing out legacy interfaces, starting with the removal of native LVDS output from most products in 2013. The company also plans to remove native VGA output starting in 2013, with expansion to all AMD products by 2015. This would mean DVI-I support will be eliminated in the same timeframe.

I know, and I also don't own a 144Hz monitor which wouldn't work with HDMI.Your Dell U2412M has a Displayport port. Problem solved.

Hmm, novatech's site is HORRIBLE. I can't even seem to find an option to display all monitors sorted by price or display all monitors of a particular resoloution.This is simply not true. A quick look at the usual suspects (e.g. Novatech) indicates that 1080p and 1440p monitors with HDMI or DP or both vastly outnumber those with only DVI.
Why does it need "improving"?DVI has been unmaintained for almost 10 years now, with no one putting any effort into improving it.

Agreed, I would love to see Vga disappear as fast as S-Video did from graphics cards.
I'm actually surprised that some video cards and monitors still come with Vga.
I see no reason to phase out Dvi as it supports resolutions suitable for most gamers and anyone else that doesn't need super, high resolutions. But the majority, I'm sure, still use Dvi.
But they're a very small minority of monitors currently on sale.
I saw no mention of gaming cards anywhere?VGA is common for work places and non techies with old hardware, I have no idea why a gaming card would need to support it.
