A mate at work asked me for a DVI to VGA adapter for his new monitor, I duly obliged but he reckons that's not what his looks like.

He probably knows more about PC's then I do so I believe him when he says his monitor has a DVI cable but without the extra bar and four pins you get.

I've scoured the intermahweb and cant find any DVI cable or adapter that only has the main block of pins.

Does anyone know/have this kind of connector?

He's got a Hitachi 17" ldc CML174SXW2 if it helps, their site doesnt have any info.

EDIT: At the end of Google Images I've found a DVI-D to HDMI adapter.

Cant find one to go to the normal DVI tho.

Look in this thread:

Cheers, but they both those sites only have ones with the additional pins and long bar.

It NEEDS to be purely the main block of pins.

That would appear to be a DVI-D connector (no analog) so I'm doubtful a DVI-VGA adapter would work.

It looks like it can use a VGA cable though.
Expansion / Connectivity
Interfaces:

1 x VGA - 15 pin HD D-Sub (HD-15)
1 x DVI-D - 24 pin digital DVI

Yes it does have dual inputs but what he's going for is his PC and xbox360 to both go to it.

Apparently the xbox needs the vga so the pc needs to go to the DVI.

Probably better to get a video card with DVI though [rolleyes]
