Hey, I currently own desktop with a DVI-D port. My monitor only has HDMI ports. Will this cable work ? If not what do you recomend ?

I bought this cable and am very happy with it. I use a Google Chromebook, which has HDMI out. I have it going into my monitor, which has DVI in. I'm not certain if this cable works both ways, but I found the guys via customer service for Cables Unlimited to be very helpful. If they haven't already responded with certainty regarding the 2-way compatibility, I suggest emailing them directly. They'll take care of you.

JOrge, this cable worked for our computer to monitor set-up. It should not be a problem. All the best!

It does work with HD, that I know off the top of my head. I have the packaging at home and will check after work for you. I would be REALLY surprised if it wasn't compatible with that resolution! I HIGHLY recommend this if you need a DVI-D to VGA adapter. I will check though and get back to you by tomorrow.

Your workstation is listed as having two DisplayPort and one VGA video outputs. Did it not come with this adapter? If not, it then depends on the inputs on your monitor. If it will accept DP, DVI, or VGA then you have options. You can either get a DP cable, VGA cable, or this adapter and use a DVI cable. That's why I had to get the adapters, because the monitors I was using would only take DVI or VGA input and I wanted to connect to them using the DVI port. Hope this helps.

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 only port that can be connected to the monitor is a RGB blue serial cable. This cable connects to my pc via the VGA port. My video card has VGA, DVI and HDMI ports. My answer therefore is that VGA is definitely present, as for DVI I suppose you would need and adapter, considering that the cable provided along with the monitor is a bluw RGB VGA cable. I hope that helps.

The cable that comes with your monitor will work. DVI-D works with any monitor that has a DVI connection, as long as you are plugging it into a DVI port on your video card. You would only need DVI-I if you need to use your monitor's VGA connector plugged into a DVI port on the video card. The DVI-I cable has 4 extra little pins around the flat blade pin of the DVI connector. These are the analog connections for VGA. If you are going to do this, you also need a DVI-I to VGA adapter plugged directly into your monitor. Note that a DVI-I cable won't plug into a DVI-D port on a monitor because the 4 extra little pins don't exist on a DVI-D port. The cable that comes with your monitor will work.

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.

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.

You should use DVI-D dual link cable. Unfortunately not all DVI cables are equal. Even if you see all pins present on the cable ends it doesn't mean that the cable is actually DVI-D dual link type (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface). For me this mistake ended up in buying new video card as I thought my old one wasn't capable of supporting this resolution.

No, this will only work on a computer monitor. But well worth it. I use one everyday, and works great for me. Now as far as the quality goes depends on the monitor. My monitor's highest possible resolution is 1600x900ish and my quality is really good for having very little money invested in a cable.

this cable is a "Thunderbolt" to "Display" I don't know if your monitor has a "Display" input. You would have to see what type of input the monitor has.

Not easy to say. PC must have HDMI not USB which looks very similar but are not. Many Monitors use only a VGA which has less pins in the screw on end of cord. I suggest check your pin configuration on Monitor because some DVI's have less pins. I made that mistake first time around.

The monitor's input looks to be DVI-D only. I'm confused about the question though because it should work with either a DVI-D or DVI-I video card. DVI-I should work with all DVI-D monitors. DVI-I connectors on video cards only add an analog signal in case you need to adapt it to a VGA port.

Does the monitor work? Are you connecting it were another monitor was already connected? Already mentioned but is the monitor set to the right port? If you have more then just a new monitor you need to eliminate everything that is different in your new setup. Have you used the display port before? Is this a new cable? You already said the monitor was new.

Why on Earth would you subject yourself to an expensive and clunky dual-DVI converter instead of just using a Displayport cable??? I see this advice all the time and it dismays me.Oh, wait. It looks like this turkey actually doesn't have a DP input?? The mind boggles. That alone disqualifies it for me, a few more bucks gets a 2713HM.

i have 2 monitors hooked up - 1 through standard VGA and 1 through a DVI -> HDMI connector (the computer has an HDMI port). but they are old monitors, and it took a bit of doing to find the correct windows drivers. but it is doable.

It will "work" but I would highly recommend against it. I started off this way the and the picture quality was terrible. The sharpness and contrast was too bad to actually use. This was the case with straight HDMI from Mini to monitor and also with the Display Port -> HDMI to monitor. I ended up using the supplied HDMI -> DVI adapter and the monitor looks great now. Do some Google'ing on the topic and you'll see people saying the same thing. Not sure why it is, but HDMI looked horrible.
