Question about HDMI-DVI Cables
- Thread starter Reckoner
- Start date
I have that exact cable, I sometimes use it to connect my HTPC to my TV, and it works like it should. Save yourself some money and get the monoprice cable.

Cables are not eligible for replacement plan, so nope, they won't
DVI is a digital signal, so from what i understand, a regular cable carries the signal just as well as an uber-expensive Monster cable

Depending on distance, bandwidth, and signal strength.
there is a clearance event going on at radioshack, all of their gold series hdmi and dvi cables are $12 each. about 12 foot in length
I have a question too.. Will one of these let me connect my video card to my WEGA TV's component? http://www.monoprice.com/products/produ...023504&p_id=2508&seq=1&format=2&style=
It says
(*)The Cable Not Support your Computer Monitor Video Port, or Y , Cr, Cb Video. Your Video Source Must Provide a YpbPr Component Video Signal form the DVI-I Video Ports to Use Cable
I thought DVI was DVI!

There are differences
some basic info
So I guess a particular device (like my old 9800pro) would have to be used which can sent a component signal via a DVI-I output.
Hmmm...My guess (which may be completely wrong) is that that particular cable just takes the analog signal pins in the DVI-I connection and coverts them into a 3-RCA/Component format...although the signal itself may not be a standard Component signal. Unless your video card can output component specifically (over analog including DVI-I), you'll probably need a transcoder or something more than just a simple cable

I figured it was doing the same thing as this off brand adapter that does the job of the ATI DVI-I to component adapter.

:thumbsup:
I heard some are even of better quality than the ATI ones. I didn't really want to bother looking into it though and just got the standard ATI one.

Do those work with every ATI card? I assume it's not regular DVI and that ATIs output a component signal from the DVI port...

8500 and higher cards it looks like. Mine is an 8500 AIW.
If you are going to use an ATI component adapter you need a Radeon 8500 or a Radeon 9500 or higher (this includes the 9550, which is really a 9600 GPU clocked lower), this also includes the x300 and x600 series for PCI Express. For the 8500 or 9600 All-in-Wonder cards you need the VGA to Component adapter, for all others ATI requires the DVI to Component adapter.
I guess I have to use my DVI-VGA adapter, and put a VGA-component adapter on the end of that?TRENDING THREADS
