I have dvi but not hdmi on my PC. I can use a dvi to hdmi adapter. Do I also need an audio cable, and is there a place to plug it in?

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.

DVI video port gives you digital signal capable of 2560x1200 or higher resolution. What else HD do you need? HDMI? Most likely you can use DVI->HDMI dongle

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, so for instance if you have a setup like mine, and you want to transmit digital audio over your HDMI and DisplayPort connections from your computer, as I do from my Nvidia card, you can use this cable to do so. I get audio from both connections. DVI in contrast won't send audio. I have mine connected to my AV receiver, sends both video and audio just fine, same as using HDMI. This is HDMI 1.3 though, so you don't get 1.4 features like 4K res, ethernet and return audio, but I don't need any of that, yet.

Thank you for your advice, Sandra. Yes, I connected the monitor via HDMI. So now I have 3 cable, HDMI, DVI to D-Sub, and DVI to DVI cable. Which cable do you suggest to make a good picture ? Thanks again.

Greetings, You have 3 options for video output: HDMI, DVI or VGA (VGA will require the use of a DVI-to-VGA adapter). Best regards, MITXPC

Just grab a cheap HDMI cable and hook up your xbox to the HDMI port (Which is limited to 60hz, anyway), and if you have a PC, connect that to the DVI port. Problem solved.

Yes you will need a audio cable also it is a VGA cable and will not support sound. If your computer has a HDMI port you could get a HDMI cable and it would have picture and sound in one cable.

Not on mine.normally HDMI is an output for a computer rather than an input. There is only 1 video out on this computer, SVGA. No digital (DVI) either. You might find a vid card that would fit that had these, but it's awfully tight.

You'll need to get an hdmi to dvi-i cable. Should work just fine. Though obviously without audio.

you don't; vga doesn't carry audio. it's not like hdmi.does your monitor have built-in speakers? if so, then there will be a line-in (aka auxiliary, 3.5mm, 1/8", etc.) input which looks exactly like a headphone jack, except that sound goes into it instead of out of it. in that case, you'll need an rca to 3.5mm cable or adapter. if your monitor doesn't have speakers, then just route your rca cables to your sound system. i hope that helps.

If your computer has a DVI connection, you should be able to use this cable to display your computer's video output on you HDMI equipped TV. However, since you don't have HDMI output on you computer, it won't provide audio to the TV. You'll need to connect to external speakers for audio.

hdmi hookup has audio, but dvi and vga cables dont have audio, if u want audio u got to use the audio port jack or use the HDMI. mine is plugged into a 6770 video card using the dvi cable to get a picture to my tv. and using the audio jack cable plugged into the back of my surround sound.

The DVI to HDMI conversion doesn't transfer sound. Other option would be to connect speakers for sound as the ones on monitor are not loud at all.

Yes. HDMI is a newer standard. Among other things, it allows one cable to transmit both audio and video, where the DVI will just do video. Because the HDMI can do both, it is far more common to find it in the home entertainment area. The HDMI connector is also significantly smaller.

You will need an HDMI cable to use the HDMI connector on the monitor, if you hook it up to a computer it will also need to have a HDMI connector as well. It also has a DVI and a VGA connector.
