MYRIAGON Posted November 25, 2006 CID Share Posted November 25, 2006 Hey all........ OK I can usually figure out things like this, But this has got me totally confused My son and daughter in-law have this monitor... http://www.samsung.com/Products/Monitor/LCD_Digital/BI19BSSB.asp?page=Specifications But they currently are running the D-SUB connection. So for Xmas I bought this video card for them.... http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814143046 So my confusion is, the monitor is DVI-D (not sure if Dual-Link or not) and the vid card is DVI-I Dual-Link. From the way I understand it DVI-D is only digital and DVI-I has analog and digital signals Will they work together ? This is the cable I got when I ordered the vid card... http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16812189047 I know it's a cheap cable, but I'm thinking it will just send the Digital signal. Backwards compatible ? Thanx everyone. MYRIAGON........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buntz Posted November 25, 2006 CID Share Posted November 25, 2006 I have that same monitor, it hook up to a pair of 7800GT with a DVI-D digital cable,but I am not sure. I brought the cable around a year ago. From what I just read 7800GT has a DVI-I connection . The monitor also has a VGA connecter you can use for analog.

MYRIAGON Any piece of equipment that is dual means dual analog and digital (at this point in time) capable. so yes - the monitor is digital but allows analog links from other pieces of equipment. Did that help or do you need more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
