Be careful with the DVI to HDMI adapters like this. I initially bought one to then just plug a normal DVI cable in, and found that the HDMI plug wasn't strong enough to hold the adapter level. So the weight of the cable and adapter eventually caused a few pins to not connect anymore, and I saw some weird patters on the TV. Sticking a lego under the adapter to support it worked for a while, but I finally just bought a DVI to HDMI cable to replace it. Ended up costing me $10 I think for the 1m cable I got.


I do have one of the other kind of these adapters -- plugs/screws into a DVI-D chasis, and provides an HDMI jack in return. Those are much more useful. But cables are just as cheap as the converters, so..
