QUOTE(BeastX @ Jan 27 2007, 01:18 PM) 4 pins are for analog signal.. which is carried by the graphic card (dvi-i) and the monitor's dvi input (dvi-d) is only for digital... therefore do not require the extra 4 pins.. presently i am using my lcd samsung 932b vga port for computer, so got a extra DVI port, so i thought of using it for my DVD player to hook up with the lcd( DVD player - it's comes with a video VGA output ) so no need to switch on the computer or plug in and out the vga cable, i was looking for a DVI to VGA adaptor, but the adaptor on the DVI side got this extra 4 pin , but my lcd DVI port didn't have the extra four holes, so i was thinking of using some tools to take out the 4 pins from the adaptor? can work ?Therefore getting a 24 pin dual link-dvi or 18pin single link-dvi ( |

QUOTE(BeastX @ Jan 27 2007, 05:41 PM) cannot  ... DVI is digital...vga is analog... your dvi input on your monitor handles digital only... I suggest you use sl-dvi (pure digital ... not vga cable with a dvi-i to vga adapter)cable to connect to your computer .... and the vga input to your dvd player...That is assuming that you have a discret vga graphic card with dvi output... If not you have to purchase a vga switch (RM 15 or so ...cheapest, manual) to switch between your vga source... dvi-i to vga adapter is purely a analog signal cabling by pass adapter.. by routing the 4 pins and utilizing some of the other dvi pins to pass on the analog vga signal...it does not magically convert analog to digital signal. U can say the extra 4 pins is security feature to stop uninformed user like you from inserting an analog signal to the dvi-d port on the monitor which may damage your monitor.  thanks, i will need to get graphic card with dvi output ! |
