Will this combination work??
Wiki confused me..
"Type A HDMI is backward-compatible with the single-link Digital Visual Interface carrying digital video (DVI-D or DVI-I, but not DVI-A) used on modern computer monitors and graphics cards. This means that a DVI-D source can drive an HDMI monitor, or vice versa, by means of a suitable adapter or cable, but the audio and remote control features of HDMI will not be available. Additionally, without support for High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) on the display, the signal source may prevent the end user from viewing or especially copying certain restricted content. (While all HDMI displays currently support HDCP, most DVI PC-style displays do not.) Type B HDMI is similarly backward-compatible with dual-link DVI."
