I am wiring a home theatre system to my computer. I have a question.?

Question

My video card does not have HDMI out on it. It does have DVI. Now I can get a HDMI to DVI adapter but will there be any loss of picture quality. If so how much? And is it worth upgrading my VID card to an HDMI card. My computer has a blu-ray player in it so it would be nice to watch on my HD LCD TV. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

HDMI is the same as DVI except that HDMI also carries sound. There are adapters out there, but you'll also need to connect the sound using the other outputs you have.

Answer 2

yes you will loss quality.

they are to different formats basically its like comparing a tape to a CD yeah you can adapt them to the other but you will see the loss.

my advise get a HDMI card and then sell your DVI to get some cash back.
