Beware of HP docking stations at swaps, since there is a rash of those
with fried DVI outputs. At my work QTH, we recently moved from Dell
laptops (poor quality) to HP laptops (possibly even poorer quality, but
cheaper, if that's even possible), and DVI outputs from the HP docking
stations
Thanks for all your inputs on this.
My PC has only one video out and it is VGA. Studying the pictures of DVI
connectors, the DVI input on my monitor is DVI-D so it will not accept DVI
analog.
I could add a video card with DVI output to my PC. However, searching the
internet it appears there
Just had a quick look at Tigerdirect (Canadian version) and they had
plenty of adapters that were under $20all with VGA some with DVI-d
and DVI-Inone with DVI-a at least for the ones that showed the
connector in the photo. also many of these also had HDMI as well.
these were PC

Right, but that's orthogonal. Many cards with DVI can provide
Hysterical Raisins aside, DVI-A cables/connectors do exist, they're just
rather rare.
Some people also confuse the DMS-59 connector as a DVI connector. It's
becoming more common on some display adaptors for dual-monitor on desktop

My one monitor has 2 inputs, one is the standard VGA and the other is a DVI-D

be able to connect the PC to the monitor. I googled DVI-D. One of the hits
was Amazon and it showed many cards but they only described

There must be monitors with DVI-A female (and only DVI-A) otherwise
why have such a connector. When I ordered a VGI to DVI cable what I
was sent was the VGA/DVI-A cable which is of no use to me.

I had planned to use my one video monitor which has has both a VGA connector
and DVI connector with my PC and the P3SVGA. I ordered a cable with VGA male
and DVI male connectors to interface the SVGA. However, the cable I got has a
DVI connector which does not match the one on the monitor. The
Hi Joe,
Save your money, it won't work. My understanding is that DVI is a digital
format and the SVGA card is an analog format. So while you can get cables
and and/or adapters that will fit they just won't work. I haven't received
my SVGA card yet but in preparation I conducted an experiment with
I discovered the same thing. Guy at the local small computer shop said
do not bother. So I checked my weather computer to discover it had a DVI
connector in back then just bought a DVI-D cable which the display card
recognized fine. then used the now empty VGA connector/cable with the
P3.
DVI connectors will do both analog and digital, if the connected device
supports both. My first generation Mac Mini had a DVI connector which I used
with a DVI cable to a digital monitor. It also came with a DVI-SVGA adapter
which I later used with an analog monitor.

There are different flavours of DVI
DVI-a is analogue and can be adapted to VGA
DVI-d is digital only and cannot be adapted to vga without an expensive
($150+) adapter.
DVI-I is integrated digital and analogue. and can be adapted to VGA
with a basic adapter.
if you Google DVI types and look
Hi Bob.
I have a lot of DVI-to-VGA adapters but they turned out to not be DVI-D
(digital only) but rather DVI-I (both analog and digital) to VGA. There
is also DVI-A (analog only) connector. My monitor has a DVI-D and a VGA
connector so the DVI adapters I had and could find would not fit.
