Will this work?
« on: March 01, 2010, 01:46:15 AM »
Picasso II ---> VGA to DVI cable ---> DVI to HDMI adaptor ---> LCD TV

Seems like it should work, but i'm sure that would be far too straightforward :)

You can only convert VGA to DVI-Analog, and you can only convert DVI-Digital to HDMI.

Why not just get a LCD with a VGA input?


Yeah I have a cheap one from an old PC.  It has a DVI connector on the back, and I use a VGA to DVI cable to connect it to my Picasso.  

Thought that if I used a DVI to HDMI adaptor it would work with my big TV.  Didn't know there were 2 flavours of DVI.

Ah well.

A lot of the TVs come with VGA ports you should have checked.
