Anyone know where I can get a DVI to HDMI converter that supports 1080p in the Century City area or online before the weekend?

Thanks

O/T: What would give better quality, component or HDMI?

HDMI is digital, component is analog so in this case HDMI

 

[Nod]

DVI and HDMI should give the same quality, as both are digital. HDMI only have sound extra, if I'm correct. I think both support HDCP.

Hmm.... maybe I don't need the adapter then..just got to find my damn box that came with the graphics card...it did say HDTV on it.

HDMI, DVI and HDCP

Combined with HDCP, DVI was the standard for digital television until a few years ago when HDMI was introduced.

Yes, you will want to purchase a television with DVI/HDCP or HDMI/HDCP. In my opinion, the best purchase option for a TV or any consumer electronics device (DVD player, DVR, set-top box) is one with HDMI/HDCP. DVI is an old format, and is secondary to HDMI. HDMI has room for growth, and because it has support from some of the major consumer electronics manufacturers, it’s hard to see it being replaced in the next decade or so. Regardless, buying a TV without either input would be a bad decision if you want to ensure usability of the TV a decade from now. Some televisions come with both inputs.

Thanks.

Just trying to figure out how to get my damn media center to output at FullHD res, the LCD only has VGA-in, which supports up to 720p (13xx by whatever) res.

HDMI, DVI and HDCP

To expand on what Nod said:
HDMI is DVI+digital sound. That is why you will get a converter for a reasonable price. The only thing is that you will not have sound. But then again, how many people use the sound of their tv? So DVI will probably be ok.

 

[xrapidx]

damn graphics card only outputs at 1080i... guess I need a new one.
