My new Viewsonic monitor has HDMI in as well as DVI in. My Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT graphics card only has DVI out. Can I use a DVI to HDMI cable to bridge the gap and what are the advantages of using such a cable...picture quality wise? Much better than DVI?
Thanks all! |

HDMI carries audio as well. DVI by itself doesn't. Cant see why you cant use DVI to HDMI tho. I'm using DVI on this as well. Looks just as good as if it was connected with HDMI (the monitor here has HDMI as well). But, I'm using the HDMI connection for the Xbox |

Thanks SG. Currently my DVI + Viewsonic = bloody good picture. If there's no added quality bump there's probably no point in shelling out $$ for another cable eh. |

Yup, the only reason you would want HDMI is if you want audio as well really. Saves you connecting a separate cable for audio. I suppose it would be better on here, if I did use HDMI. Since, I've installed a freeview USB DVB-T tuner, and some of the channels are in HD and 5:1. But it doesnt matter, if I use DVI or HDMI, the resolution is still 1920x1080 |
