By using an adapter / converter from HDMI to DVI or VGA.

Thanks in advance. Do you have a recommendation? Do I need an HDMI cable?

St

Do you have a recommendation

No

Do I need an HDMI cable?

you have several options, e.g.

HDMI to DVI cable
HDMI cable with adapter from HDMI to DVI on the monitor

da

Then the cable is sufficient without an adapter, right? What are the advantages of the adapter?

Then the cable is sufficient without an adapter, right

if you buy a cable with HDMI and DVI-D directly, yes…

What are the advantages of the adapter?

that you can continue to use an existing cable?

Thank you for the information and patience 😉

You need an adapter (from china takes about 2 weeks)

Why is no cable enough?

Ma

You can connect an HDMI cable behind the adapter, it doesn't work directly because you don't have the same connections, right?

da

Correct but have now ordered cables with an hdmi and a dvi connection. Should also fit

Ma

What dvi connection do you have then 3, right?

da

Dvi-d

HDMI to VGA is nothing. It works on DVI
