I tried to post at Hardware question section, but no one reply....
Any sifu here can help me??

Dear all forumers...

Currently I got a project which required to connect the 2 LCD and the LCD ONLY have the DVI connector.
The length of the slave LCD about 20 meter long and I also require 1 DVI splitter to connect the LCD....
I had tried to search the 20m DVI cable and DVI splitter, but cant get it at most of the store.

My questions are below:

1. Is anyone can advise where can buy the long DVI cable and DVI splitter?

2. If the 1st question is NO, then is it possible to buy the DVI to HDMI cable (from source) and use the HDMI splitter to connect 2 HDMI to DVI cables (to both LCD)? rclxub.gif

If not, any other comment about this?

Thank You~~~~

Long DVI cables are rare... but not HDMI.... I believe I bought a 20m HDMI around RM100 (or less, cannot recall).

DVI splitter unlike VGA spitter, are rare and expensive, example:

It's much cheaper to run 2 (20m) HDMI cables from a dual DVI/HDMI graphics card and clone the display outputs.

Thanks for reply...

Based on your suggestion, I can't mod the hardware, It only provide DVI output.
So, do you think my second question on top is possible to work out?
Means, use DVI to HDMI cable and connect it to HDMI switch, then split 2 HDMI cable and convert to DVI for LCD.

anyone knows how to reply the lcd monitor power button got stuck?

For Emphasis: A HDMI switch ... switches from one output to another, it does not split (clone) the signal for 2 LCDs, one LCD will get the signal @ any given time.

As mentioned: Digital spliters are expensive.

HDMI/DVI switches are available from RM50 to 80.

A Switch is not a Spliter.... Do you want a Switch or Spliter?

SL-DVI and HDMI is essentially the same you just need adapters (analogy USB and mini-USB, DP and Mini-DP).

Opps.. Sorry, my mistake.
What I mean is HDMI splitter.
So, I can try the method i posted?

Thank You!

Hi..my netbook is acer ao522 with reso 1280x720.. Recently the monitor damaged.. My lappy have hdmi output.. My question is if i wanna buy external lcd monitor,, do i need to buy the 1 that have hdmi input also or just a usual lcd monitor??
I mean does the quality of using dvicable the same as using hdmi cable?? Sory for noob q..thnx guys..

For now, comparing those 2 (U2312HM & U2412M), with an extra RM35, u could get U2312M which is a good bargain but,
I'm still waiting for U2312HM discount coupon

buy now sure whine when dell drop some discount coupon later lol

waiting and waiting..6XX is a good price

Yeap, for Dell new LCD it is wise to wait for discounts. Early worm gets eaten by the bird unfortunately in this case.

Yes... but far more economical to run 2 cables instead... SL-DVI or HDMI is just adapter differences.

It's out. Price at RM649

It's instant cash redemption... we are waiting for coupons

Can we expect U2311H's prices to drop/get discounts with the release of the XX12M series?

I love 24", but as I intend to get a triple-monitor set-up down the road, the cost savings > extra dimension.

Oh ya, it was an Instant Cash Redemption, I tot it was a Discount Coupon.
Too excited to share, overlook it

RM649 is alright..just wait for some review 1st

whats the difference instant cash redemption to discount coupon?

further discount lah..

Instant cash redemption will be there for almost all products at all time, according to Dell it's a price reduction you get buy purchasing online (Can you actually buy through other mediums?)...

Coupons are seasonal special codes for you to enter so that you get further discount when you check out...

By the way, if the price falls below that of RM550, I'll make my purchase
