I saw a DVI to HDMI cable recently. It makes me wonder....

If my PC is DVI and my HDTV is HDMI port, can I use this cable to connect each other?

Of the other way round? How about the sound?

Anyone have tried this before?
If i play HD movies from my PC and connect using normal serial connection to my HDTV, will there be any loss in PQ?
How about connection to the sound system? using headphone jack?

I am planning to buy a low profile tower casing PC to store all my music and movies. Connect to the HDTV and play it.
It is something like HTPC.
Any advise?

For your info, if you VGA only support DVI output, it doesn't support the sound as available in HDMI. You need to get a VGA which supports HDMI output, most ATI VGA supports that feature, or you may get ASUS 8600GT HDMI 256MB/DDR3 model for budget Nvidia card.

If you are using serial connection to TV to play HD movies from PC, for sure you will suffer some losses in PQ. It's better that you go for a low profile PC just to play music/HD movies in your HDTV, just budget RM1k will do as I already help my customer to set up 2 sets of similar PC smile.gif

Hope this will help and you may PM me if you need any further info smile.gif

You need to set the VGA output resolution to match your TV resolution, else no picture will be displayed sad.gif
