Does it work to connect a laptop with HDMI output to monitor with a DVI input?

I bought this cable for the sole purpose of being able to watch BluRay disks on my desktop after I installed a BluRay disk player in it and discovered that every BluRay title I had uses a protection schema that must playback via the HDMI or DVI output. My ViewSonic flat screen monitor was born before HDMI was popular on PC monitors but it did have a DVI jack. This cable allowed me to watch all my movies from my desktop using the HDMI output from the PC and the DVI input on my ViewSonic flat screen. It worked the first time I plugged it in, has worked every time since then as well. Works great for me.

Yes definitely. I have two of these cables and use them to connect monitors to my laptop and to my wife's laptop. Her monitor also has an HDMI input but the monitor's performance with this cable is far better than with an HDMI to HDMI cable which severely limits the available resolution settings on the monitor.

I was able to connect my computer to my tv's HDMI using this cable. Sounds like you're trying to do the same thing the other way. All I can say is buy it and try it out. You can return it if it doesn't work out. Nice part of buying on Amazon. Hope this helps. Good luck.

It worked perfectly for me. Previously I was going from VGA on the laptop to VGA on the monitor. With this cable I could use the HDMI on the laptop to the DVI on the monitor. Didn't have to change a thing. Plug and play.

Although I haven't used these on a laptop - I don't see why not. I've used the cables to connect dual-monitors to Dell machines that have a video card with both DVI and HDMI connections for video. They've worked flawlessly for the 2nd monitor. I would imagine they'd work just as well to push video to a DVI monitor from your HDMI port on the laptop.

I used a DisplayPort to a DVI-D cord. Unfortunately, the HDMI only works out, not in. However, the screen resolution is still nice and sharp.

Yes, I used this adapter to connect a laptop to a Dell U2711 monitor and got 2560x1440resolution. But first, the HDMI port on the laptop has to support the high bandwidth needed, an older laptop of mine doesn't work. Second, I have to create a custom configuration, the laptop itself doesn't detect the max resolution.

did you try this for connecting the external monitor to your laptop. I have a dell laptop and want to buy it for the same use.

Should work fine. hdmi and DVI share the same pin arrangement -- the connector heads are the only difference.

Yes, that should work although you may need to get an extra audio connection as DVI will not transmit audio.

I have a Raspberry Pi, but have not tried the cable to a DVI port on a monitor. It should work, because I am using this cable from my HP laptops HDMI port to the DVI port on my monitor.

No. Both must be digital connections. DVI and HDMI. You can use converter on either port

This cable would work with your computer. As you mentioned the HDMI output from your computer will terminate in a displayport input on your monitor.

It should work in bothe directions so I would say yes, but I used it do send signal from the d-Port from the computer to the DVI port on the monitor not vice versa.

Yes. I have the same computer, and it connects to any external monitor/output device.

Not exactly sure what you're asking. This cable will connect a computer that has an HDMI port to a monitor that has a DVI port.

I belive so but I haven't tried that. If not you could get a converter for the display port or DVI to make it work with your monitor.

If you have two mini-display ports available on your laptop, then yes. If you have two different types of display ports (mini-display and HDMI) then you need to match those up with the right adapter to match your monitor display port options. i.e. thunderbolt to DVI, thunderbolt to VGA, HDMI to DVI, etc.

I was hesitant to answer because I'm not sure. I tried to convert the DVI to HDMI for a laptop to be on my 4 port switch and had a hell of a time finding an adapter to work. I'd research the adapters and find one that says they did that sucessfully... that would be your answer.

yes, theoretically this should work. I've used it for HDMI output to to DVI input on a computer monitor, so there is no reason it shouldn't work, however I would recommend direct HDMI-DVI to avoid putting extra stress on your tv connection with the extra adapter
