HDMI to DVI cable...

[Marine-RX179]

My BenQ G2222HDL arrived today. Unfortunate the monitor only comes with a cheapy VGA cable, so I gonna need to get a DVI cable separately.

Was just wondering...if I was to connect to the DVI input of the monitor, would a HDMI to DVI cable work connecting to the HDMI port of the MSI 5850 Twin FrozeR, or do I have to use DVI to DVI cable?

Ran my laptop into my monitor last year when my base went down, hdmi to dvi, worked fine.

Can't see why it would be the same coming out of your machine.

I bought a Monster 400 HDMI/DVI 2m cable some time ago - only £7, works both ways DVI->HMDI and HDMI->DVI.

Yup - an adapter like this (and a standard Male-Male HDMI cable) or a cable like this will work fine. No compatibility issues, same quality as a standard DVI cable.

Bought the HDMI to DVI cable off the bay. Thanks for the advise.
