What does a DVi-VGA cable do?
A DVI-D cable is a digital video display connector used in computers. It supports the same resolutions as VGA which has been the analog standard for many years. Digital signals do not suffer from timing errors that can sometimes reduce the clarity of an image delivered with VGA. Note that there are two other formats. DVI-A uses the DVI connector but it carries an analog signal identical to that of VGA connector. A DVI-I carries both digital and analog signals and therefore provides two video links within the same cable. Finally, DVI digital signals are compatible with HDMI video signals. DVI does not carry sound in either digital or analog video formats whereas HDMI supports sound within the same cable.
I want to use my laptop monitor as the monitor for both my laptop and my desktop so if I run a dvi-HDMI cable from the dvi port on your desktop to the HDMI port on your notebook will this work?
No. The DVI port on your computer is output only. However, you may be able to find a USB TV tuner card with DVI input that would allow you to pull this off.
How do you display video on a philips tv using a HDMI to dvi cable that's connected to the pc via a dvi to vga adapter?
You cannot connect a HDMI to a VGA video output on a computer. VGA is an analog signal and the DVI adapter connects it to the analog pins on the DVI cable (a DVI-I cable has both analog and digital pins). A HDMI to DVI cable connects to the cable's digital pins, therefore, no connection is being made. The easiest way to do this is to upgrade your computer's video card to one with a HDMI output. These can be purchased for less than $50.00, and will allow you to connect your computer to your TV with one cable and no adapters.

How do you get your Sony Vaio to display through your hdtv through an HDMI cable?
HDMI is the new standard interface used for high definition television and supports both standard and high definition signals. It is a fully digital interface and carries both video and audio signals on the same cable. To connect a computer to a monitor with an HDMI connector, the computer will need either and HDMI port or a DVI port. DVI is the digital display interface for computers. Fortunately, it is fully compatible with the HDMI interface so with a DVI to HDMI cable, the connection should be fairly simple. Although most televisions with and HDMI connector will work with a computer, it is worth checking to make sure the resolution of the computer output is compatible with the television itself. VGA, which is still the most common video interface for computers is not compatible with HDMI. VGA cannot therefore be connected to an HDMI connector unless a VGA - DVI or VGA - HDMI converter is used. Finally, although HDMI carries audio, DVI does not. If the computer uses a DVI connector, audio will still need to be connected using a separate cable.
How do you connect your laptop to your hdtv with your vga to HDMI cable?
HDMI cables are used as digital video and data links between video sources and televisions. HDMI is compatible with DVI interfaces so if the laptop has a DVI output, a DVI to HDMI cable can be used. If the laptop does not have HDMI or DVI, then there is no way to connect the VGA output to an HDMI input. There are several USB based video displays that can be purchased to connect to the laptop. The display can be used as a copy of the internal screen or it can extend the desktop across both screens. Select a display port that has either DVI or HDMI outputs.

Is a DVI cable a monitor cable?
DVI is the digital display standard for computer displays, so it is indeed a monitor cable. DVI provides similar resolutions to analog VGA cables when running LCD panels at their native resolution and normally avoid timing errors that can reduce the clarity of VGA signals in some cases. DVI can also support analog VGA signals on the same cable so before changing to a DVI cable make sure your monitor and computer both support DVI digital.
How do you connect your laptop to your PC monitor?
Its basically the same as hooking your desktop up to your monitor, depending if your laptop or the cable uses VGA, DVI, DisplayPort or HDMI. Usually there should be a port on the back or sometimes even on the side of your laptop. Most VGA ports are blue, most DVI ports are white and nearly all DisplayPort and HDMI ports are black. Example of VGA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:VGA_port.jpg Example of DVI: http://help.bluebones.net/imgdvi_port.jpg Example of DisplayPort: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mini_DisplayPort_on_Apple_MacBook.jpg Example of HDMI: http://www.surfshopcomputers.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Guide-connect-laptop-to-HDMI.jpg If the cable that comes from the monitor is DVI (white) and the port on your laptop is VGA (blue) or vice versa, you will have to get a DVI/VGA converter, they run from 5-10 USD. In most cases you should be fine just as long as you have a VGA or DVI port on you laptop. If you have a DisplayPort or HDMI, all you need is either an HDMI or DisplayPort cable with the same type input in your display. If you don't have DisplayPort, chances are the laptop has an HDMI so you can just use the HDMI connection. Most new displays (TV's and Monitors) have an HDMI, DVI and/or VGA input.
Does HDMI cable carry video and audio?
HDMI is a connector standard designed fo rboth HD and SD video. It will carry both audio and video signals within the cable so it provides a single cable interface between equipment. It might be worth mentioning that DVI, the digital computer display interface that is gaining popularity is compatible with HDMI other than the fact that DVI does not carry audio. HDMI to DVI cables are available to connect computers to television displays. Therefore, any HDMI cable that has a DVI connector at one end or the other will not carry audio.
