Have recently purchased a new computer without a DVI connection. Is there a way to convert my Syncmaster 930b DVI-D to an HDMI connection.

Connection the monitor depends on the connections you have out of your Toshiba laptop.

The monitor has both VGA and DVI.

If the Toshiba has a VGA out, all you need is a VGA cable available online, computer or electronics store.

If the Toshiba has an HDMI out, you can connect it to the DVI on the monitor with an HDMI cable and an HDMI to DVI Adapter.

You can also use USB out with either a VGA converter or a DVI converter (go with DVI for the better picture). Converters can be found online at Amazon, you may also need a standard male to male DVI cable to use with the converter.

from user manual troubleshooting section
(When connecting D-Sub cable) Check the signal cable connection. (When connecting DVI cable) If you still see an error message on the screen when the monitor is connected properly, check to see if the monitor status is set to analog. Press Source button to have the monitor double-check the input signal source.

Source button Activates a highlighted menu item.
/ Push the 'SOURCE', then selects the video signal while the OSD is off. (When the source button is pressed to change the input mode, a message appears in the center of the screen displaying the current mode -- analog or digital input signal.) Note : If you select the digital mode, you must connect your monitor to the graphic card's port using the DVI cable.

It depends. What are you using the monitor for? If you want to watch digital TV, you need a digital to analog converter. (It has an NTSC tuner.) Note: the digital to analog converters that were subsidized by the US government coupon only gave SD out.

If you are connecting to a PC, it has DVI-D (21 pin SCART) and VGA connections (15 pin SCART). (An HDMI to DVI cable or adapter would connect to HDMI video cards.) Most other set-top boxes will connect to the component, composite or S-video connectors.

I hope this helps.

Good day,

If your screen has a VGA, DVI, or HDMI port, most of the new graphics cards will be compatible with your screen. Most graphics cards come standard with DVI ports and include a vga adapter for the screen cable. Some of the new graphics cards come with HDMI and DVI ports or a HDMI converter if you want to use HDMI.

I would recommend a Nvidia graphics card. Depending on what your primary use is going to be they have an extensive range to cater for your requirements and price range.

Hope this helps!

Hi gurmeet,

What I suspected from your description of problem is that there is some kind of compatibility issue or content protection when you plug in an additional HDMI to DVI converter.

I am also using an Airtel HD connection, though however, I wouldn't need any kind of converter because I am directly connecting HDMI cable to my LCD and it works like a wonder. I set up my box output resolution to 1080i and there is no display resolution mismatch. Not even at other resolutions.

Airtel is using 1920x1080 resolution in signal transmission, so the possibility of 1079 from there end is ruled out, otherwise, the same problem would have been observed when direct HDMI cable is being used. I hope you understand my point.

Now you might also ask why you weren't able to see this problem when you connect the monitor to your PC graphics card. I would like to tell you that graphic cards are very versatile and does have the capability of 1:1 pixel mapping, so there you wouldn't see any such problem.

read this link for more http://www.hdtvsupply.com/hdtodvico.html , where a person is able to match resolution using a similar converter.

I believe the converter you use isn't able to do 1:1 pixel mapping and is actually downgrading the resolution which your monitor is not able to support.

You can try out other resolution type from the STB and if you still see similar problems, then you may need to get an alternative converter.
Follow these steps to change the STB resolution type;
Enter the Menu from STB remote -> scroll to 'My Settings' -> Enter 'System Setup' -> 'HD Setup'. Here you change to a lower resolution and press ok from remote.

<P>If you try new cable, try with another PC and still have the same problem, then you need to inspect the inside for bad caps first just like all the SAMSUNG as shown.</P><P style="tab-stops: center 3.25in left 255.75pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"><A href="http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums"><FONT color=#800080>http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums</FONT></A><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"><A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague</A><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Capacitors kit: <A href="http://lcdalternatives.auctivacommerce.com/Viewsonic-C196320.aspx"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;</SPAN>http://lcdalternatives.auctivacommerce.com/</A><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>he can make you a set of caps for you.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P><P>&nbsp;</P>

Yes. You will need a HDMI to DVI-D converter or cable to connect them. Be aware that you won't have any sound though as the monitor (unlike flat panel TVs) hasn't got any built-in speakers.

the Flat Screen TV if has, a HDMI input, also has VGA Input.

You must choose :HDMI or VGA, if HDMI The VGA board must Have HDMI Connector, and you connect a HDMI cable to the TV.

The HDMI is a digital signal input/output, VGA is Analog Signal. You must have Signal Converter if you Use the 2 signals

try to hold the power button for like 6 seconds until u hear a beep...
it will reset the display and adjust it to ur monitor...
hope this helps

Did you check for new drivers to both vid card and display? That'd be the first thing to try.
