Just got a 37" 1080p LCD to use as my main PC monitor and for some reason I thought my GeForce 7900gtx had an HDMI out...it does not. Need to upgrade, but I don't need anything new or state-of-the-art, just something hearty that can handle my TV and some moderately taxing video applications.
What do you suggest, or perhaps even have to sell me? Thanks in advance! 5/6/2010 7:40:27 PM |

DVI and HDMI are pin compatible. Why not just get a DVI to HDMI cable? 5/7/2010 1:08:32 AM |

private party
the crux of the issue is that i'm just a dumbass. i'm fairly certain I knew all of this at one point and it just got purged during the continual influx of time and contemporaneously-relevant information
nevermind the fact that the dude i bought the PC from not much more than a year ago had it hooked to an hdtv as a demonstration 5/7/2010 3:13:41 AM |

Hope those links work, they look convoluted... Just be sure you have a good BD drive, otherwise the security settings might hose your dreams of movie bliss. 5/7/2010 5:05:31 AM |
