1080p from my PC to Widescreen telly : DVi to HDMI

[The Storm]

Hi All

I own the the following video card : ASUS Geforce 6800 Gamers Edition, it has DVi out and I wanted to connect it to my large widescreen Tv and get HD video at 1080p.

Can you please recommend a cable that I need to use to connect the 2 together.

Are these cables bi-directional? (dvi to hdmi or hdmi to dvi )

Will this cable do :

Some tv's dont accept pc input from hdmi. eg my samsung only allows pc input via vga not hdmi.

Hoe does it tell that the HDMI cabe is connected to a PC?

Sony's from memory are fine for accepting pc thru hdmi. just Samsungs i think :(

Not Sure but in my manual and when reading other sites it does state that some screens wont accept pc thru hdmi.

as i say though might just be samsungs :(

You have to make sure the 6800 has HDCP or the TV wont accept signals from an HDMI cable.
HDCP=High Definition Copyright Protection:)

Thanks. I'll check for that when i get home.
Would a cable which says HDMI to DVi work on my requirement which is the other way around ie DVi to HDMI ?
