I just bought a gateway hd2200 22' monitor and im expecting it to arrive either today or tomorrow hopefully. It has every video input option... component, hdmi, dvi, vga; and said it supported 720p. I was going to use Hdmi since the monitor had an audio output for hdmi.Then after i ordered it, I read this on gateways product page

"720p HD through DVI-D connection with HDCP DCDi by Faroudja for enhanced video processing picture in picture and soft PIP (dynamic, adjustable and transparent.)"

So im guessing HDMI won't be as good an option as a HDMI to DVI-D cable. The only problem is, how in the world do I get sound with that connection???

Here is the monitors description page if you need more details on it

I don't know the answer to that but since no one here is being helpful why don't you ask on Yahoo Answers? Good luck.

HDMI, as far as the video part is concerned, is the exact same thing as DVI. i'm pretty sure that any HDMI is fine for what you're thinking of doing with the monitor.

im using a lg flatron monitor and was wondering if i can use the regular cable that comes with the 360 for sound while using the hdmi to dvi-d cable for picture. if not then where would i get one of those parts thats just for sound?
