I just upgraded projector from Panasonic PTL-300U (which is only high def compatable) to Panasonic PT-AE900U (which is high def). I'm using a DVI-D cable with DVI-D terminations on both ends. I am using two DVI-D female to HDMI male connectors, purchased at Monoprice.com for - get this! only $4.74 each! Sure beats $25-30 at brick and mortal stores! - since neither the Oppo DVD player nor the projector have DVI) and it works fabulously. BTW, some have suggested that anything over fifteen feet can wreck the quality of the DVI signal, however I have zero issues with distance effecting the quality of the picture using HDMI, and I believe I installed a 25' length DVI-D cable when I built the room.
HDMI to DVI Cable
If I use a cable with a DVI head at one end and HDMI at the other end, would this cancel out the benefits/advantages of both formats? The cable would be connecting the HDMI output of the DVD player and DVI input of the display projector.
Any advice from knowledgable folks would be much appreciated.
