DVI --> HDMI cable for Monitor?

[Jorgen Sigvardsson]

DVI-D is electrically and protocol-wise compatible with HDMI. A simple adapter will work, even with HD-material (BluRay etc.)

If you buy a 22" without a DVI adapter, I would be worried.

Any particular reason? Cheers, Drew.

:-D This is one is quite funny! Luckily I'm not at the office - I clicked the link. That wouldn't be really funny. :-D

I expect the HDMI input to work as well, wanting HDMI+DVI seriously restricts choice, and I hope that life is better with HDMI in the long run :)

Wow :-O don't know how that happened, but it was not intentional. Fixed now.

[peterchen]

I remember nothing ;)

Yes, 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

Yes, 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.
