| 747949 | 2009-02-14 20:29:00 | going to buy a DVI to VGA adapter for a VGA screen i was given. I found this (www.dse.co.nz) but i have DVI-I dual link connector. I know it will fit, but will it work? :thanks |

| 747950 | 2009-02-14 20:36:00 | Should work, if its got the same connection at the DVI end | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 747951 | 2009-02-14 21:05:00 | Ive got a DVI-I dual link and the adapter has a DVI-A (single link)? | pcuser7895 (12979) | ||
| 747952 | 2009-02-14 21:35:00 | Should work, if its got the same connection at the DVI end Do you mean the pins or the whole thing? On wikipedia, i found that DVI-I is intergrated and is both anolog and digital but it only explained that said that DVI-D can connect with DVI-I but didn't say that it couldn't connect with DVI-A. Bt all pins in DVI-A will go into a DVI-I connector.Here is how i found out (en.wikipedia.org) |

| 747953 | 2009-02-14 21:51:00 | I've got a DVI-A to VGA adapter here. Just tried it in the other PC, which has 1 DVI-I / VGA / HDMI connection Worked fine. The screen (which is VGA) turned on, no prob at all |

| 747955 | 2009-02-14 22:20:00 | No probs If you were around Mt Eden, I would give you one. I've got a DVI-A to VGA, DVI-I to VGA, and another adapter. I dont know what it is. It doesnt match any of the pics in the link you posted from Wikipedia Its got the connection (like the top one in the link you gave on the left). BUT only 6 pins, in the next set of blocks (similar to DVI-A, but doesnt have the bottom 2 pins) |
