I work at radio shack, and I see no reason why you wouldnt get your true 1080i picture they are both digital inputs so they should do nearly the same thing. for more info you might want to go to monstercables.com they have a great A&Q section.

Go to monstercables.com it will give you the correct answer. But I do not believe it should cause you any problems.

I think you can even Get 1080p from HDMI to DVI

cause i know with some cable converter, you can connect ur ps3 to your Super OLD monitor,

and achieve 1080p even if the monitor only has anolog input.

the thing is called HD FURY

heres a video link showing it
