The Computer input is NOT a regular DVI. What would I use? I've bought SEVERAL cables but the projector's input is LARGER than DVI.

you can use the VGA input or the M1 to component cable adapter or M1 to HDMI http://www.infocus.com/accessories/SP-HDMI-ADPT-R - its not a DVI its an M1 connector.

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.

you need to download the projector's driver to your computer, so your laptop can recognize it, I just dont know where to find the driver, i want to know too.

I have two external monitors connected; one via a DVI/DVI cable and the other via a DVI/HDMI cable. I have a convertor piece that I think may have come with it, but it looks like VGA to DVI. Hope that helps.

I haven't tried HDMI to DVI. I can't really test it either because I don't have that kind of cable. I can't see why is shouldn't work though. The output is pretty much a passthrough.

im not sure what dvi-d output is exactly. i have two dvi cables. one of them is regular and the other one is super thick and fat. the super thick and fat one, has an extra line across another one to make the "+" sign where the connecters are. i checked the monitor and it does not support this cable.

Just purchase an HDMI to DVI or DP adapter, problem solved. Or use one of those outputs on one of the monitors.

Hi S. Anderson,Is the signal your monitor accepts digital or analog? The HDMI adapter I purchased works great with my Dell 15, but the projector I use at work is analog based and not digital, so my new HDMI - VGA adapter does not work. Hope this helps! Mark V.

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

Sorry, I am far from an expert on this. I have been seeking the right way to do this since 3M does not support the product well. I searched a lot of options to find a cable set that would allow this unit to work like a regular projector. The cable set listed here will not work on its own but I am now waiting for a new cable that may take the RCA ends on the product you are asking about and turn that into the VGA end that will take video out of the computer and into the 3M projector. Write back in 2 wees if you want to see if I have been successful.

You could always buy the DVI to HDMI connector I did and works great! only about 6 dollars if you really want the monitor :)

I found that the DVI cable did not work after the first few days. Of course that may have been due to the computer, but I doubt it. I switched to a DVI to VGA converter and have had no more trouble nor can I tell the difference in image quality. I think that DVI is a technology not quite there yet.

Sunny-If your source has HDMI output but no display port or DVI output, just get an adapter. They are available and reasonably priced on Amazon.Jim

Buy a vga to DVI-D adapter and a DVI-D cable. Do not use a vga to HDMI cable with wide gamut monitor.

either direct connection with a VGA cable or connect o PC via USB and connect that to projector as usual with VGA cable. You ge better resolution when going via PC

This is common but makes little sense. With DVI you need to rig a separate audio cable, while with HDMI you don't.Jim

Be sure the pins on the DVI side are what you need. There are several versions and you have to have a 100% match to get it to work. Google DVI types.
