Can I use the HDVI in a DVI HDTV connection, or do I use a converter ? I have a newer nice HD TV big screen projection type Hitachi.

Hi Paula, you may use that but we can't guarantee compatibility and full functionality. -Vincent

I am sorry to tell you that I made the same mistake. All you can do is mirror the DVI input. One thing I am working on though is creating aa custom driver that will double the virtual width of the monitor resolution while still maintaining the same height. I have gotten close once but the aspect ratio for the width doubled as well. Resulting in watching movies with a bunch of short fat people. My work around for now is to use the vga jack out of my laptop for one 23" monitor and an HDMI to DVI-D adapter and DVI-D cable to my other 23" monitor. This gives me 3 hi-res displays to use. Not the most elegant solution but it works. If you find an answer I would love to here it. If I get my custom double wide driver to work I will be happy to share. Cheers, CJ. Cjchumbley@computer.org

Here's another question for you Ron? My older TV does not have hdmi inputs. But a good friend, who's an electronics engineer, said I should use a cable converter that inputs HDMI (from the DVD player) and outputs component (into the HD component on the TV). Does that seem right?

You'll have to get an audio cable. DVI doesn't carry audio signals, only video. HDMI is the connection type that is capable of carrying audio and video signals simultaneously.

I tried using a hd tv as a monitor once. Your choices of resolution are greatly narrowed. I personally don't recommend using a tv as a monitor system. But, yes the adapter should work just fine for the graphics but bear in mind dvi doesn't support sound. Since the computer has an hdmi port that cable would be better since hdmi supports digital sound.

Hi Michael...I'm over here in Saudi Arabia. I have a 3 year old 50" widescreen Samsung LCD with DVI input (through the component in it will play 720p and 1080i). You seem to be very knowledgable and my question to you is....If I buy the Toshiba HD and get the HDMI to DVI adapter do you think I will be able to watch HD on this TV????.....Anyone??? I do have a Samsung 32" widescreen HDTV ready in the bedroom so I will be able to use it there if it doesn't work on the other one downstairs.

My parents had a similar challenge with their 2006 era Sharp HDTV (720p/1080i) with DVI only. Unfortunately, we had already purchased an HDMI cable... but we located a separate HDMI-to-DVI adapter, included with their HP Computer. As HDMI delivers both audio and video via single cable, whereas DVI is video only, you would then need to use a standard audio pair (Right-Left, or "Red-White" cable) for audio to work.

You can use DVI by using a HDMI to DVI Cable, it works fine. This unit has a HDMI and a std VGA port. You can run two monitors using each port.

HDMI and DVI share a common signal format but a different pin/plug configuration. All this does or needs to do is adapt the plugs. (HDMI on older devices may not always work universally but there is nothing that any adapter can do about that.)

No. You need an HDMI to DVI Cable to provide the input to the converter. I used Amazon's converter cable. Connect the HDMI end of the cable to your input source (set-top box etc) and the DVI end to your monoprice. The DVI input is labeled.

There is an adaptor from the old DVI to HDMI. They have been around for awhile. I believe that since HDMI carries both audio and HD video the same will be so through the DVI / HDMI adaptor.

Yes you can use a DVI adapter. Mileage may vary on resolution issues with the tv and may require tweaking in the TV settings to obtain the best picture. However, you will need to connect your sound up via optical or component. I would recommend updating your video card if your pc can handle it.

It never worked for me, so idk. I'd imagine that the computer would still see a DP, and the monitor an HDMI. All the converter is doing is moving pins around.

No. Will not work with hdmi, because the bandwith of hdmi is low. Even to work with DVI it need a dual-link dvi cable. If you have a displayport on your computer (or laptop) buy the displayport version. Displayport has a wider bandwith than dvi or hdmi.

You need a converter box which are fairly expensive. DVI are Digital and VGA are analog.

Although the computer itself does not have a DVI connection, you can use a VGA-to-DVI cable or an HDMI-to-DVI cable to connect the computer to the DVI connector on a monitor. I'm using an HDMI-to-DVI cable from Amazon Basics and it works with no problem.
