HDMI and DVI?
If I buy an LCD TV with an HDMI input and graphics card has a DVI output can
they be directly connected? Do I need one of these adapters? http://www.tvcables.co.uk/cgi-bin/tv...=Adapters.html What cable will I need to go with it, DVI-D to DVI-D, DVI-I to DVI-I, or DVI to MI-DA, they are listed on the left of that same page? -- Kenny Cargill |

HDMI and DVI?
Don't use DVI-I cable with the DVI to HDMI adapter in the link you gave,
because DVI-I has four additional pins and won't fit with the adapter. You'll need either: DVI-D to DVI-D cable + DVI to HDMI adapter, or A straight DVI to HDMI cable like this one, saving you the cost of an adapter: http://www2.dvigear.com/dvihdmi5mlc1.html -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.
