Will I still get optimal picture quality if I use a DVI to HDMI cable? The desktop I'm connecting this monitor to does not have an HDMI port.

"The desktop I'm connecting this monitor to does not have an HDMI port"Then what ports does your desktop have, a DVI-D port? Great, the HP monitor has a DVI-D port too! Just use the DVI-D cable that is supplied in the box with the monitor and you should be good to go.

yes you will have. i have both cable and cant find any difference in result. its my own opinion.

No. HDMI carries audio but dvi doesn't, so you need a separate cable for that.

Do not use an HDMI cable. :) Doing so will only get you 1080, which is not the full resolution (1440) that this monitor is capable of. If you're happy using HDMI at 1080 then you might as well buy a 1080 monitor for half this price. You'll definitely want to use DVI or DisplayPort to take advantage of the full resolution. If you have trouble reading the screen then you can adjust that in Windows / Mac OS X.

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.

Most monitors don't come with an HDMI cable and not just low end models like this one. It will also only output 1080p over HDMI, which on a 27" looks horrible regardless. You're not losing any quality by going over DVI, in fact on this particular model, that is your best bet over HDMI.

I'm not sure on your tv but I just picked up a Samsung Combo HDTV/Monitor and had nasty issues getting the picture right until I stumbled across an easter egg in their setup. My Mac Mini is connected via a DVI -> HDMI cable to my Samsung. The colors were way off and it was obvious that the signal was not digital going to the monitor until I labeled my HDMI input "PC". That fixed the colors. Setting the option for "Overscan" fixed the resolution. Now I get a picture that looks as good as the DVI -> DVI input from my laptop.-- Chris

No, this is a display port cable. If you have a DP port on your desktop, then yes you can, but if you only have HDMI then this will not help you. Cable is of poor quality anyways, build quality and technical, being that it goes from digital output to an analog input. It's a specialty thing that you only get if you are in a bind and HAVE to do it this way. Look for an HDMI to VGA cable.

Make sure your monitor is tuned in properly to the right channel. It needs to be on DVI, not VGA or HDMI.

Short Answer: Yes. Longer Answer: Since DVI output is already digital, a simple cable, such as "AmazonBasics HDMI to DVI Adapter Cable" (search for: B001TH7T2U) will convert the DVI out to HDMI digital signal, suitable to plug into an HD TV. A full HD TV 16:9 screen should be able to display "monitor" resolutions up to at least 1920x1024. That should be true of any computer or other device that has DVI out. EDIT: oops. after a brief search I see that your question is more complex than I thought--specifically regarding SD vs. HD color space. Since I happen to have all the relevant parts at work, I'll just try it tomorrow, and let you know :-)

You will have to purchase an active port cable hdmi to dvi. make sure its active port. I purchased one on amazon for 25 bucks.

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. Yes, I have, that's why I bought it.

For anyone interested, the HDMI output can be connected to a standard (white) DVI (digital video) cable by using a simple adapter (HDMI male x DVI female costing about $3.50 from China on eBay, $35 at Radio Shack) to use a digital monitor without having a normal digital video port on the computer or an HDMI input on the monitor. The video quality is true digital and better than VGA. I'm using dual digital monitors (neither had HDMI connectors, just VGA and DVI) on a different DELL with only choice of one each digital, HDMI or Dell Universal Display Port (DP) on the computer. One monitor is on the digital port and another with a simple plug adapter on the HDMI port. I've read there is also an adapter available to connect a regular digital (DVI) cable to the Dell proprietary Display Port on the computer.

You will need an HDMI cable to use the HDMI connection on the monitor.It also has DVI and standard VGA connectors as well.

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.

I just purchased the mini dvi to dvi adapter and also an hdmi to dvi cable. I also have the audio cables. When I hooked everything up, I could hear the audio and see my desktop only. How can I view something other than my desktop. CAn you help?

This box outputs with DVI, not HDMI. I didn't have any luck trying to use DVI to HDMI adaptors. It could have been my monitors though.
