micro HDMI to DVI

Hello,
I'd like to connect my EVO to my desktop LCD monitor to watch video on bigger screen. Has anyone tried it yet? Anyone know of a micro HDMI (type D) to DVI cable or an adapter? thanks.

you might be able to make your own... just get an DVI to HDMI cable and splice on a type D end to it, not sure if it will go backwards though...

thanks, but I am interested in making sure I am going about the right way. I want make sure all the HDMI 1.4 features are supported in this solution and its fully compatible. Has anyone tried it yet?

Not really sure what HDMI 1.4 features you expect to get when your end connector is a DVI port. If you cant find a cable that goes from the Evo to DVI then you should be able to just go to HDMI then use an adapter to go to DVI. I used have my computer hooked up to my Home Theater via a DVI <> HDMI cable. Worked great, Full HD and all.

thanks. I read there a bunch of new features in hdmi 1.4 and wanted to make sure I go with an optimal option. Seems like an hdmi cable and a DVI adapter is the way to go. This way I can connect to hdtv and lcd monitor.

Yes, its true that HDMI 1.4 is great and has a lot of new things, including 3D support. But keep in mind, this is a phone. It doesn't even output 1080p video, so you'll be fine with the adapter.

Yeah, it can only to 720p output to a monitor/TV.
Something else to consider, HDMI integrates video and audio over 1 connection. If you use a DVI converter, you will lose the audio. I don't know if the EVO will allow you to output the audio out via the headphone jack at the same time or not, but I very much doubt it. So in other words, by converting the signal, you're going to lose all the audio and kinda makes it useless.

hmm.. well that sucks. any ideas on how to get around this problem?

Sure, you can get an HDMI to DVI With Audio converter..but then again, you might as well buy a new monitor with DVI inputs for the price..

[Q] HDMI to VGA converter advice

Does anyone have any suggestions for a HDMI to VGA converter to use with the Xoom? Every so often I'll invite over a few people and play movies in the backyard. I've been using a laptop and projector, but after getting the Xoom I've been thinking about getting rid of that laptop.
Related question. Are there any HDMI/VGA converters that split off the audio? Should I even bother with that or just plug speakers into the headphone jack?

Kramer Electronic has 1, a VP-422

is it not possible to convert to vga without digital scalers ?

Not without a transcoder. VGA is analog, HDMI is digitial, they send a completely different kind of signal. DVI-D and HDMI are the same however (aside from the lack of audio, of course), so if your monitor or TV has DVI-D, then you can just get an adapter on eBay or monoprice for a couple bucks.

from what i've read micro hdmi doesnt have the right pins for a DVI connection.

Perhaps that's why it didn't work for me when I tried... I just ended up buying a different monitor with HDMI.

Xoom does not have the required +5V out that is needed for DVI. That's why it won't work.

Unless your laptop has a "display mode" where you can use your laptop's display with another computer(the only computer I know of that can to that is the iMac), that's not going to work.

Won't work thatisn't an input port.

As stated this wont work the way you want it to, but you can get an adapter for only a couple of dollars and this is the method that I used to hook up my atrix to an older TV.

This isn't meant to imply that you can use this to plug your Atrix into a laptop. Laptop display ports of any sort simply aren't designed to be used as inputs but adapters to those types of ports do exist.

Okay. You said "older tv" so I was thinking you found some kind of rca adapter or something. Don't really consider an hdmi capable tv "older".....

any solution for vga projector?

hi all,
I want to ask if someone have a solution to connect the tablet
With a vga projector....
I search the forum but there is no clear solution for this
a hdmi from famsung and hdfury maybe?

Hi you need a hdmi adapter for tablet (eBay, amazon etc) and then you need hdmi or dvi (hdmi is essentially dvi) to vga active converter! And that's the important bit, it can't be just a cheep passive adapter, it must be an active converter.

Yea like the guy above me said, I would think it be best to go from HDMI to VGA to get the ideal connection. I did a quick google search and I saw some adapters for VGA that had male and female connections depending on the situation you need.

in theory everything will working but can you exactly
suggest me the hardware that will guaranteed work please???

HDMI to DVI

Re-visiting this because I didn't get a definitive answer on HDMI to DVI output on all the other post. I have used the Samsung HDMI adapter to watch Netfix, movies on device, and anything on the device on an HDMI monitor and a HD TV and it works great with no problems. Has anyone successfully used a HDMI to DVI cable, with this device? I have an Optima Projector with VGA and DVI inputs. I have tried an expensive $60 HDMI to DVI cabe and a generic $15 one and niether works when attached to the Samsung HDMI adapter. I'm just getting a "No Source Found" message on the projector. Any help is appreciated.

Hmm,
HDMI is a digital only standard. DVI is both digital and analog (has pins for both). A HDMI to DVI cable converts to the digital DVI standard. If your projector does not see the signal, I suspect it is hard wired for analog DVI. To connect to such a device you will need an active converter box that converts the digital HDMI to analog DVI or VGA.

I have also tried using an HDMI to DVI adapter with my LCD monitor that I normally use with my laptop, doesn't work. I think somehow the adapter prevents the HDMI out thing from realizing that there's something connected on the other side. Interestingly enough, HDMI to VGA adapters do work, I imagine because it's an active adapter that puts a load on the output so the tablet knows to output a signal.
