Sorry to start a new thread today.

My samsung monitor failed me two days ago. Now i have a headless amd64 lying around full of movies inside.

I have an 32" LG lcd tv in my living room. It has 1x AV, 1x component & 1x HDMI input. Problem is, my pc only have DVI, VGA & svideo output (radeon 9550).

I bought a VGA-component cable (rm70) and tried connecting the two but failed.

Any ideas how to connect them both? I'll be in lowyat this afternoon so if anyone can giv advice today, itll be very helpful to me.

Many thanks all

Any ideas how to use the vga-component cable?

em its the other way around.

DVI source to HDMI tv. U have it?

i thought the one i show u just now in the link was Dvi to Hdmi tv=.=?

erk i dont think so. It says HDMI output to DVI D input.

I want the opposite. How much is it?

In Digital Mall, there is a shop selling it. IIRC, 1st floor at the corner near escalator from ground floor. Abt RM40.

2 US bucks from ebay, DVI Male to HDMI Female Adapter

try this http://www.lelong.com.my/high-quality-gold...0-08-Sale-P.htm

i think it's less than RM5 from carrefour.

my tv is LG 32LD310

i read the manual

it says
"This TV does not support DVI(VIDEO) signal using dvi to HDMI cable"

this means game over for me? have to buy new monitor? FML

anybody used VGA-Component before care to share experience?

DVI-D and HDMI are electrically compatible, try the converter first, it is only RM5 from carrefour as quoted by Skylinestar

if all fail the next step is to change graphics card which has HDMI output

by the way, not all graphics card support DVI to component video

my guess is that the manual is talking about DVI-A, which is an analog video signal, not compatible with HDMI digital signal
