DVI --> HDMI cable for Monitor?
-
The monitor recommended[^] by Christian supports "only" HDMI and DSUB. (I want to go for the 22" version, though) My graphics card is dual DVI - can I hook it up with an DVI/HDMI adapter cable like this[^]? Prices vary from €3 to €100 - with the "technical reasons" I can find being the same as for bullshitting audiophiles into buying directed cables 8for AC signal, no less), but I wonder if there's something of matter that I could do wrong.

blog: TDD - the Aha! | Linkify!| FoldWithUs! | sighistI think I'm right in saying that DVI and HDMI are compatible, except that HDMI also carries audio - so the converter cable should work.

I'll try my luck and report all problems :)

If you buy a 22" without a DVI adapter, I would be worried. :|
xacc.ide - now with IronScheme support

blog: TDD - the Aha! | Linkify!| FoldWithUs! | sighistYes, it will work, that it how my center monitor is setup. Card: ASUS TOP - NVidia 7800 GTX Cable: (like) NEXXTECH™ 1.8M (6') HDMI TO DVI CABLE[^] Monitor: Westinghouse 24" L2410NM[^] The only thing that used to be an issue was to check if DVI was analog/digital and or single/dual link: DVI Wiki[^]. In particular most cables used to be single link, but the large (Apple) monitor needed dual. Not really an isuue now as all cables i see are dual.
...cmk The idea that I can be presented with a problem, set out to logically solve it with the tools at hand, and wind up with a program that could not be legally used because someone else followed the same logical steps some years ago and filed for a patent on it is horrifying. - John Carmack

blog: TDD - the Aha! | Linkify!| FoldWithUs! | sighistYes, used them a lot. There is a slight difference in sync timing if your graphics card supports DVI and HDMI modes separately but it doesn't make a difference in practice. The cheap ones are every bit as good by the way (we have used 10 metre cheapos without problems) - I got into shops just to shake my head at people falling for the sales talk. Elaine :Rose:

It's just another case where people don't understand how it works, so the salesman (who doesn't either, so can't even feel guilty) spews a load of jargon at them... > DUMMY MODE ON < ...and they assume that there's a perfectly reasonable explanation why the cable is more expensive, more expensive = better, and therefore they should buy the more expensive cable. The 'perfectly reasonable explanation' is that the manufacturers and stores are grasping bar stewards.
