DVI to HDMI...

Sumanji · 16 May 2006 at 17:49

Hey,

I'd like to use the DVI output of my X800 XL to connect to the HDMI input on my LCD TV. I want to run at the TV's native resolution (1366x768), but I remember reading ages ago that you can only do 1280x720 over HDMI? Is that correct?

If so would I get a better picture using the VGA input at native res (instead of an upscaled HDMI image).

Cheers,

Now I'm confused :confused:

Yeah of course DVI to HDMI leads exist... I thought this was common knowledge?!

I just need to know whether I can set a custom res using that and get 1:1 mapping on my LCD that's all

Cheers,

Ok seen as I can't get a straight answer out of you lot I'm just gonna go and buy a DVI-HDMI cable and see what happens

any recommendations for a decent cable? I'd really like a 1 metre cable if possible (to reduce clutter).

Hmm I'm confused. 1360x768 looks horrible over DVI->HDMI, really pixellated and weird. 1280x720 seems to run too big for the screen?! At the mo I'm running at 1152xsomething, which looks ok but has about a 1-inch border all the way around the picture which sucks

Will give it a go over VGA later and see if 1360x768 works better!
