Laura Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 If you put the adapter at the other end, IE you are connecting an HDMI port on the laptop to a monitor with a DVI port, connect the adapter to the monitor, and connect the HDMI cable between.Ok, that was my original question, so he'd just have to buy an adapter. I had limited brightness on battery, but then I adjusted the limit in the BIOS. I was able to get the screen much brighter than the CCFL counterparts in the house. At the moment, I have 3 laptops with CCFL backlights, and 1 with LED. The LED is MUCH brighter.Ok then, let me rephrase. He's not going to notice much if any difference on the MacBook or MacBook Pro. At best, it's marginally brighter than my old CCFL, without tweaking and marginally darker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merchinax Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 How can I find out what VGA my motherboard supports? I want to buy a new vidio card but I'm not sure which VGA it supports. (PCI-E, AGP etc.) How can I find this out? I have a Dell Integrated motherboard as of now. ___________________ market samurai ~ marketsamurai ~ marketsamurai.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasignhagj Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Don't get a macbook. If you don't mind waiting and want something more powerful, the new ASUS G53SW should be out soon, with Sandy Bridge mobile, which absolutely rips the first-gen i7 processors, and a 460m GPU, which is like a GTX 450 desktop, and will play any games at somewhat reduced settings. @merch - Here's a pic for reference. If you still cant tell, anything later than 08 should have pci-e 16x, and anything pre 06-07 should have AGP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious, where did you find this picture? In response to the thread though, DVI and HDMI carry the same electrical video output by design - a 2 dollar physical adapter is all that is necessary to convert between the two.
