| Post subject: | Going from S-Video to HDTV |
I recently upgraded my home theater to HDTV. I got a 50" Samsung DLP that supports 1080p. The TV supports both Component and HDMI. It also supports DVI via DVI-to-HDMI converter cables. It also supports VGA. My old setup consisted of running my Mythbox to my TV via S-video. I'm trying to figure out whats the best way to go about hooking the box up the HDTV. I know that the TV does not support analog DVI. So that leaves going component via some conversion method, or going with VGA. http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_sp ... &class=vga MSI makes an HDTV video card with HDMI output. I was considering going with this card, but not sure if it will require special drivers to output through HDMI. Anybody got any recommendations?[/url] |

Analog DVI is VGA. All you need is a little adapter from the DVI port to a D-sub 15 connector. Are you sure that card has HDMI output? I don't see where it says that. You can use a DVI to HDMI cable though. |

That card has 2 dvi ports, it is quite easy to convert from DVI to HDMI though since they are identical formats. |

Sorry folks, I posted the wrong card. The MSI card with HDMI is here: http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_sp ... &class=vga http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814127223 Its got a small hole in the backplate that allows for running audio in from the sound card. I think it also supports runnin audio in on a port on the board itself, though not sure. |

It would be a lot simpler to just get any card with DVI out and use an adapter. |
