Well obviously that's for component cables, so make sure you have those (I'm sure you do). As for sound, I don't know. I haven't seen this done before. Anyone ever try this?

I bought this and it works great. it doesn't run at higher resolutions other than its native 640x480 but it looks great nonetheless.

I looked all over the place alot of back orders on that cable right now so far its like 1 month down side is the audio.. with that cable you need to convert it or hace something that can play stero sound.. what i did was get that box and i can plug computer speakers in for audio but im useing it just for video since i have everything set through the stero for sound.

mother of god !

i got the cable above, but it doesnt even fit my monitor.

didnt realise there was 2 types of dvi sockets, the cable i got was a DVI-I. I needed a DVI-D for this monitor

anyone have any other ideas please?
