Hmm.. you're probably right. But HDMI/DVI adapters work, as do DVI/VGA, why can't they be combined?

- mikeash 14y agoDVI can carry both analog (VGA-compatible) and digital (HDMI-compatible) signals on the same cable. HDMI is digital-only, and VGA is analog-only.
- idan 14y agoDVI has additional pins for carrying an analog signal, but they don't have to be used to transmit the digital one. The simple DVI-VGA adapters are merely shape changers, wiring the relevant pins from the DVI side to the VGA side.
