I have an older computer that has DVI output from graphic card, and only HDMI input from my LCD TV. Will this cable work to output my older computer t

The video will appear on your tv. You will need to run separate cable from the audio output (speaker jacks) of your computer to the audio input of your tv. DVI output from your video card of your computer does not usually carry the audio.

Your situation is exactly what I had, so yes, this cable will work. Also, if your video card supports audio, it will carry that signal as well to the TV. If your video card does not carry an audio signal, you may need to get a separate speaker system to hear from your computer, because your TV will be on the "HDMI input", but your audio may only fit to the "PC-input" on your computer.

Yes it should. I did the opposite with hdmi out to dvi in and this cable is supposed to work either way so yes it should

I tried this cable and it did not work. It was the cable cause the vga on my pc was fine and so were the component slots on the tv. I wouldn't advise it

That's what we used it for. You'll need a splitter cable - and the end that goes into the card has a bazillion pins (ok, 60) - not standard DVI plug. The other ends of the splitter can be DVI. See "DMS-60/LFH-60 to Dual DVI Y-Splitter Cable Converter for Dual Monitor"

Not exactly sure what you're asking. This cable will connect a computer that has an HDMI port to a monitor that has a DVI port.

&gt;can i use this to connect my pc to monitor? Works for me. HDMI output on my laptop to DVI connector on a monitor.

It would probably only work if you're using a DVI cable variant that has the four pins and therefore sends an analog signal. The video below explains the difference between DVI and VGA and how different pins send analog or digital signals.https://youtu.be/f38sotYHqtA

No reason that I know of. It should work. But you will not get audio from a dvi cable.

The computer has a VGA and DVI output. So if your Tv has a VGA input run a VGA cable from the back of the Tv to the computer or do what I did and buy a DVI to HDMI cable if your Tv has HDMI input on it.

Hi, thanks for contacting us. This connection is for a specific type of DVI cable. If there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know. Sincerely, Chris Nickels Red planet Trading

HDMI and DVI share a common signal format but a different pin/plug configuration. All this does or needs to do is adapt the plugs. (HDMI on older devices may not always work universally but there is nothing that any adapter can do about that.)

I really would not know the exact specs. I have a monitor which has a DVI port. I plugged this into that DVI port and then connected a HDMI cable to the other end of the connector. That cable ran to a HDMI port in my Lenovo computer. I would say that if you are connecting a computer with a DVI port to a tv that has a HDMI port it would work. I have a laptop that I hooked up to my TV with the old 9 pin VGA cable and it worked fine although I had to hook up audio jacks between the laptop and TV as well. So if you are trying to send video signal out from a DVI port to a HDMI port I would say it would work just fine. That is basically what I am doing.

Should work fine. hdmi and DVI share the same pin arrangement -- the connector heads are the only difference.

Possibly! I connect my laptop's display port to a tv if your graphics card supports display port as an output, yes, this cable will connect it to an hdmi on your tv.

It depends on what you are trying to do. You CAN'T go from a VGA output from your computer to a digital input on the monitor. I ended up not using this adapter and buying a new, plain vanilla video card with two HDMI outputs, and connecting my monitors with HDMI cables. ( P.S., this was a snap; there was futzing around involved at all).

I have used this cable to go from an hdmi source to a dvi monitor. I am currently using it from a dvi source to an hdmi screen. It basically just has the pin out mapped to work either direction. If you have a dvi connection on one end and an hdmi on the other it should work. In my case it even carries sound!

I don't see why not - I'm taking the HDMI output of my PC to a DVI input on a projector with no issues.

Yes, that's the very purpose of this cable. Just connect it to your HDMI port on your computer graphics card and then connect the other end to your DVI port on your big monitor.
