DVI to HDMI - how to set it up without any problems

If you have a computer that only has a DVI port, but you want to connect it to an HDMI device, this is possible without any problems. However, you will need the appropriate hardware in the form of adapters or cables.

These options for switching from DVI to HDMI are available

Switching from DVI to HDMI is necessary if you want to connect devices that only have the other port. This is the case, for example, if you only have a DVI port on your laptop and want to connect it to the HDMI port on your Smart TV. Since both HDMI and DVI are digital signals, switching is usually straightforward and without any loss of quality. All you need for this is a suitable cable or adapter.

1. To switch from DVI to HDMI via cable, please pay attention to the genders of the connectors when buying the cable.
2. Since there are always female connectors in the devices, you need a connection cable that has a male HDMI connector on one side and a male DVI connector on the other.

How to switch from DVI to HDMI via adapter

If you prefer to use a DVI-HDMI adapter to connect your devices, this is a bit more complicated, as there are several connection options. So you can either plug the adapter into the DVI output and connect it with an HDMI cable, or plug the adapter into the HDMI output and connect it with a DVI cable. Also, when using an adapter, it is necessary to pay attention to the genders of the connectors.
