Hello.
Does anyone know if its possible to connect a HD DVD player (with HDMI) to a computer monitor with a DVI input.
You can buy HDMI to DVI adaptors(i think), but will it work?

There are plenty listed with retailers - you need to check if these are HDMI "compatible". That is - will the signal stay HD or will these cause the signal to be downgraded to "standard definition"?
The only way to do this would be contacting manufacturers directly or face-to-face (with a demonstration) in-store. |

Thanks.

Do you mean the monitor, DVD player, or cable?

My understanding is all of them - if one component isn't compatible the picture will be downgraded. More details at:
