HDMI Adapter???

Man, this hi-def video thing has got me twisted in knots. I just realized that the connection on the back of my projector is not HDMI, but a VGA conector.

So, I'm ordering THIS CABLE from MonoPrice to see if I can get this thing to fly. The cable connects to the VGA connector on the back of my projector and goes to the component video jacks on the back of the HD DVD player. Eleven bucks plus shipping. I can upgrade later....the most important thing now is if it will fly.

So, should I be able to get a hi-def picture with the component video setup? Is anyone getting a hi-def picture using compnent video and not using the HDMI connection?

Just as I've seem to finally gotten a handle on 2 channel, the march up the hi-end video food chain starts here. Thank goodness for Audiogon.

thanks to all of you for your help

There is no difference in quality between DVI and HDMI
HDMI carries digital picture and sound.
DVI carries only digital picture.

AR makes inexpensive HDMI to DVI adapters and work fine. That way you can invest in a good HDMI cable for when you get a new projector or plasma with the now standard HDMI connection.
