I have a GTX470, and it has a Mini-HDMI, my new Plasma, 50'', 1080p has 3 HDMI ports. Now I know Plasma isn't recommended for using a PC on, but it's really just going to be a "Wow, how does that look?" kind of thing, and not a perma-setup. Now just want to ask about what I'll need, HDMI Cable wise. Thanks.
You need an mini-HDMI Cable that should have been supplied with your card. Also You need to make sure you have the audio driver installed as well other than that nothing much really. I have my HTPC with SLI GTX 470's running through my receivers 5.1 audio. Awesome setup you will enjoy having your pc on such a big screen for gaming.
Ah well, I can't keep it there. I just want to check it out, besides, it's Plasma, and even with advances, burn-in is still a problem, especially with people using them for PC's, as there are alot of static images. So something like this? http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10242&cs_id=1024201&p_id=7648&seq=1&format=2 I looked at my local Bestbuy and all they have is their in-house Dynex Brand @ 30$, **** that. Also my card was a RMA Replacement, so it didn't come with one. To bad, if it did I could go check it out right now.
You didn't get a cable supplied with your card? Dynex will do the job for the most part. Being up here in Seattle we have quite a few places you can go to get one for a decent price local.
No way, Dynex is 10x as expensive as one should actually cost. Monoprice's above ,or this one, hmm. http://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-P570-006-mini-HDMI-Digital/dp/B000TT80DG *Yeah, went from a 280 to a 470, pretty much a 40-50% on average increase. Very happy.
I agree but I thought you were saying for just doing a local pick up? They are expensive compared to online.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882021192 Can you tell if this Mini-HDMI to HDMI? It is Mini, I know that, but the pictures make the second connector look bigger than the first, hence making me think it's regular HDMI. Free 3 Day Shipping makes it about the same as Monoprice, and much faster than Amazon.
Ok. Yes... We've established that.. Screwed, if I order it from amazon, will be 11$, if I order it from Monoprice, will take like a week to arrive. Newegg doesn't seem to have any mini HDMI to HDMI cables, as the one I've listed above seems to be rejected by everyone.
