Re: [H] DVI to HDMI Adapters
Thanks, guys. Just wanted some info before I either use to return this DVI-HDMI cable I have. Monoprice sounds like a good place for cables, thanks.

Are there any real adapters that can take the output from an NVIDIA video card and connect to the HDMI input of my widescreen TV? The audio can have an alternate route, that's no problem, I'm just wondering about the video. Or is there an interface that can do both audio and video from an NVIDIA video card to HDMI for TV? I've seen a bunch of stuff that says yes and a lot of stuff that says no. Just beginning to look at products, but most of them will not tell you what they work with, just that they are DVI to HDMI adapters. Thanks...Steve

Re: [H] DVI to HDMI Adapters
I have purchased DVI to HDMI cables that work fine for the video. They will not carry the audio, that must have its own cable.

Re: [H] DVI to HDMI Adapters
Yes, they work. It more depends on the drivers - they have to support the resolutions the TV supports. I've used a DVI-HDMI cable to attach a mac mini and a PC to my Sony XBR5. Both worked fine, though my experience is limited to Nvidia cards. I'd expect ATI cards to work correctly too with recent drivers.
