I was thinking of getting a DVI-HDMI converter and along with it HDMI-HDMI cable,instead of a DVI-HDMI cable…:slight_smile:

So is it a good choice or shud i stick to getting a DVI-HDMI cable…:stuck_out_tongue:

Also I dont have any clue about their prices*(Mumbai)* & also need cheap ones*(tightbudget)*..:flushed_face:

It would really depend on what the primary function of the cable is. You can always buy a dvi/hdmi adapter or an hdmi/dvi adapter after if you need. You are likely to get a better quality picture without an adapter, so I would suggest getting whatever you have a primary need for.

My primary need is to connect my bravia to my PC wich has a DVI port n watch movies:)

So i was thinking of buying an adapter n another HDMI cable along with it,so that i could use the HDMI cable later on seperately:P

But if quality suffers then i wud go with DVI-HDMI cable…wat wud b its cost??(Mumbai)

I’m surprised nobody replied to this one yet; :S

[And u should do a few search attempts cos there’re umpteen no of threads based on this query alone :P]

Dude, try local shops for the MX branded ones; Might be as cheap as 500 bucks; :slight_smile:

Else head to PRIME ABGB and ask for a DVI to HDMI adapter; the site shows the other one so they may have this one, just enquire;

Or get this cable instead;

Cables’re expensive but then u need not keep on unplugging ang replugging ur existing HDMI cable from the device it is conected to like the PS3 or the DVD player; :slight_smile:

oops ya search feature😳

I dont wana spend lots on cable since on tight budget😳 and also I have read that isntead of going for Branded gold plated stuff its better to stick with cheap ones:P
Brand-Name HDMI Cables: Are They Worth It?
Expensive cables aren’t worth it

So I was thinking whether I could land some cheap ones at Lamignton road:)
If I dnt get cheap there then only option is to order online:cool2: but would these cables attract any customs or something like tat:S
Found DealExtreme it provides free international shipping:)

Yeah DealExtreme’s a good one for cables and connectors; :slight_smile:

Usually these teeny-weeny things wont attract any customs but just send them a mail asking them to undervalue the stuff;

How are these:)
HDMI/F to DVI 24+5/M Adapter

I found two choices for the HDMI cable,Shielded would be a good buy rgt;)
HDMI-to-HDMI 1.3a Hi-Speed Cable for DVD/PS3/Receiver/Satellite/TV (1.5-Meter)

High Quality Shielded HDMI-HDMI Multimedia AV Cable (1.8-Meter)

So the total cost would come around 13-14$,so would such a small cost attract customs:S if yes,then by how much shud it by undervalued say to abt 10$*(noob to international buyin)*:flushed_face:

^^Yup go ahead; :slight_smile:

And 10$ seems fine enough; :lol:
