Hardware question, pc to hdtv

[arnobg 0]

Hope this is in the right section.

 

Ive done some internet searches but still no positive answer. I have an HD tv id like to hook my PC up to for flight sim. My video card only has a DVI out and my tv only has VGA and HDMI inputs. Can I use a normal DVI to HDMI adapter cord or do i need some sort of converter. Will this work? Thanks for any help at all.

Yes - A standard DVI to VGA adapter plug will work just fine.  I have a 41" HDTV hooked up to a EVGA Titan without any problems.

A DVI-HDMI cable would also work. I use one to connect my GTX 780 to a Sony 32" LED TV.

Not only works but makes a lot more sense too.

Indeed Rolf. VGA is analogue so there would be a certain amount of D-A conversion. No such issues with DVI-HDMI. :smile:
