I know computer DVI port can send video to TV HDMI port, but can a computer HDMI port send video to a big monitor only has DVI port?

Yes that is how I use my laptop on my monitor that has DVI. Although you will need something else for sound, but if your device w/ the DVI port has a aux. in port (headphone jack) then just use that for sound or hook up an external device for sound.

Yes, that's the very purpose of this cable. Just connect it to your HDMI port on your computer graphics card and then connect the other end to your DVI port on your big monitor.

@B.Smith, The monitor has two native ports: 1 HDMI, and 1 VGA. To be clear, the S23C570H does NOT have a DVI port (any version). Having said that, there are all sorts of DVI-&gt;HMDI adpater plugs and cables (check on-line). HDMI is becoming the standard because of speed, simplicity, and HDMI carries both video and audio. I use a mac video output-&gt;HDMI plug|converter through HDMI cable to the S23C570H; fabulous.

@B.Smith, 2nd answer to be clear, YES you can connect the S23C570H to your computer's DVI port, but you will need to purchase a DVI->HDMI converter plug and then run an HDMI cable between the converter plug and the monitor.Hope this helps.

General answer here: DisplayPort is strictly a Digital interface. You can use a DP to DVI cable to drive a DVI monitor. For VGA you have to use an active DP to VGA dongle due to no Analog signals available in the DP interface.

You'll need an adapter or converter from HDMI to DVI. This monitor has HDMI and VGA ports only.

Yes, you should be able to connect the video from the DVI on your card to the HDMI on your TV set. You will not be able to get the audio - DVI output does not support audio - you would need a card with HDMI output to be able to send video and audio over one cable.

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. The VGA port on a laptop puts out a video signal that this device converts to an HDMI signal for your TV. The VGA port does not accept a video signal from any other device.

The HDMI connector plugs into a computer's HDMI port. The DVI connector plugs into a DVI device such as a DVI monitor.

Nope. Only inputs are DVI and VGA. HDMI is less likely to be on monitors specifically since it includes audio signal which the monitor won't process (and could play havoc with your audio out from your computer).

The monitor itself only has 1 VGA and 2 HDMI ports, no DVI ports. It comes with an HDMI to DVI cable so you can plug a DVI device into one of the HDMI ports.

DVI is 24 pin. Hdmi is 18 pin, hope this helps, I've used it on multiple monitors and works great.

no there is not an hdmi port you will have to find and buy an adapter and upscale which will cause loss of video quality here is a link to a set of connectors and an upscaler Sabrent USB-DH88 USB 2.0 to VGA/DVI/HDMI Adapter for Multiple Monitors up to 2048x1152/1920x1080 Each (DisplayLink DL-195 Chipset)

I don't know. The HDMI end goes to my computer video card, and the DVI end goes to my video projector. It works.

I am not quite sure of the question but I will try to help.... The VGA port is the standard port that a monitor would use to connect to. You would not use this to connect a VGA output from a laptop to HDMI. This is the revers of that. This takes HDMI input to VGA output.

the hdmi can carry an audio signal from your video card, so games etc will play video and audio through the monitors' speakers, whereas, the DVI signal will only carry the video signal w/ no audio. both are indistinguishably great quality video though.

Do you mean HDMI-DVI cable, to use the HDMI port on your computer? For those who don't have the product: the 2703 only takes DVI or VGA input, hence those are the two cables supplied. You can get a good HDMI-DVI cable on Amazon for a few $, or as the other commenter said, monoprice is good.
