Hi!

I have been running my macbook through my 37" lcd TV with the HDMI connection and love it.

Now I want to run my old G4 silver door with ADC connection.

Can I connect the Belkin DVI-F To ADC-M Video Adapter (Amazon.com: Belkin DVI-F To ADC-M Video Adapter for G4 Cube and G4 Gigabyte: Electronics) to my G4, then my Philips USA M62815 HDMI to DVI Cable (Buy.com - Philips USA M62815 HDMI to DVI Cable - US2-M62815) to the Belkin and into my HDMI connection on the TV?

Seems like it will work... anyone try it?

Long live MAC!!!!!!!

I am getting a MACPRO and would like to hook it up via HDMI to my SAMSUNG (Model: La32R71) it looks like this: and full specification is here: SAMSUNG's Digital World - LCD TV | LA32R71W

Does any one know if that would work and would I get 1920x1080i. I know I should have no problems with the PC Connectivity but that is lower in Res. I would get only 1360x768.

I still did not get the HDMI cable, so some advice would be appreciated.

Thank you, REMAZA

remaza: The physical display is only 1366x768, so it's just downsampling the 1080i signal. Use the PC connectivity.

thechidz: I thought I posted in this thread before but I guess not. Yes, the ADC-DVI and DVI-HDMI converters should work, but both of those prices seem pretty high.

Did you really have to bump the thread twice within 30 minutes?
