I'm disappointed that Syba doesn't make DVI and HDM1 versions these cables. Didn't any of you buyers balk at stepping your DVI or HDMI down to VGA?

The succinct answer: No. The longer answer: Long, long ago I had to build my own menu screens in DOS edline, and briefly jumped on the 'chasing computer technology carousel'. I soon learned that I had neither the time nor the financial resources to stay on. These days I purchase used, refurbished lenovos. So, given my outdated equipment, this connector was actually a step up for me. I never had two systems hooked together before. I understand your frustration. It would seem somebody would have the type of connector you are looking for. However, so many computers with old VGA technology are still in use that the demand for this particular unit still exists. Having said all that, I hope you find what you are looking for.

I wondered about the same initially. Need took priority and gave it a try. I have not regretted my decision. I have no resolution concerns or issues. I run my monitors at 1920x1080 resolution without no "visual" issues whatsoever. I guess a lot depends on how good your computer's display output/card is. My laptops are pretty top-of-the-line so no complains here about image quality.

Just to add to that, if it works great with HDMI, it would work great with DVI too-they're basically the same thing, and a $20 cable or whatever would adapt it.

The card has a squid adapter that has four DVI-D (DVI Dual link) female side.You can adapter the dvi down to VGA but you will have resolution problems when the monitor does not send a response signal. Long story short DVI monitors only. -Cade

The one I ordered came with a VGA cable, but then again it was the wrong model monitor. I'd try to find one just in case; it never hurts to have a spare!

Yes, I have, that's why I bought it. A few things. There aren't any DVI ports so you'll have to connect either RGB or HDMI. My video card only has DVI ports so I had to get a DVI-HDMI connector. Also, I have played with the adjustments a lot. My nvidia settings report the native resolution being 1920x1080, but it's actually 1366x768. Anything higher or lower and the text looks really crappy, blurry and whatnot. This is when you connect it via HDMI. To tell you the truth, it's not too bad, I have only had it a couple of weeks as well and I am still adjusting it. Haier's website is no help though.

No, this does not come with DVI to VGA adapters. You can purchase these separately on Amazon.

Mine didn't work. I asked for a replacement but its been over a month and nothing has arrived so far. I have been sent tracking numbers so I think they tried sending a new one but it just hasn't arrived. I wouldn't buy this if I were you. In theory it should work though. VGA is analog and thus is a lower resolution than HDMI. I'm going to buy a whole new monitor that supports DVI rather than dealing with the crappy quality of my VGA monitor. Its up to you man I wouldn't buy though.

Sorry I don' have a PS3. However, since this cable does not send (HDMI) signal to a VGA monitor. I'm sure that the same would have happened to the PS3.

I haven't tried HDMI to DVI. I can't really test it either because I don't have that kind of cable. I can't see why is shouldn't work though. The output is pretty much a passthrough.

no, it's a proprietary connector (on card) which fits a breakout cable (provided with card) which in turn provides 2 DVI ports. so in short - 2 DVI output, no VGA. You can of course place a DVI to VGA adapter (passive) on one of the DVI outputs (cable) and thus achieve DVI+VGA but it seems too much hassle given there are many card that will provide that (DVI+VGA) natively, IF that is what you're looking for. Hope that helps.

I have both HDMI and VGA connections on my HDTV, but the VGA didn't work until I bought a VGA/HDMI converter box. They're not expensive (mine was $10) I have an older Dell tower that's been refurbished but didn't have the HDMI connection, so the converter box was an inexpensive way to go.

I'm wondering the same thing. You can get component video to VGA converters but that will only convert the signal at the same resolution, so it depends on whether this monitor will support resolutions like 480i and 480p. Does anyone know???

Sunny-If your source has HDMI output but no display port or DVI output, just get an adapter. They are available and reasonably priced on Amazon.Jim

Update: Watched a dvd last night (the same dvd I first tried) and the picture was perfect - even using HDMI 1080p setting! This time I chose "Anynet HDMI DVD" from the source list on my tv settings, which I don't remember being an option before. I previously chose "DVI". I wonder if that made the difference. Hmm. Anyway....glad my dvd's now look just as great as the HD channels. Thank you for responding C.Woodruff. :)LadyR
