Sometimes, as a gamer, you want to transfer the screen that you see when you play your computer games to a larger HDTV so that you can feel more immersed in the game.I'll go through each of the types mentioned above and try and give you a basic explanation of what each accomplishes. A USB to HDMI adapter connects to the USB port on a computer and essentially adds an HDMI output to the computer. This will allow you to see your surroundings in more detail as you explore, and the easiest way to connect your devices together is by using a DVI to HDMI adapter. This allows you to connect your computer to your HDMI enabled display, like a TV or computer monitor. HDMI is backwards compatible with DVI because they have the same electrical specifications for their pin outs.

If you need to use the audio signal that’s on the HDMI connection you’ll need a fully active converter that can separate the video and audio signals apart, sending video over DVI and the audio over some other connection. The DVI protocol is somewhat more sensitive to noise and therefore cannot cope with as long cables as HDMI. As mentioned in the description of the DVI to HDMI device, DVI and HDMI use the same digital video format for the video. This means that if you are only using the video signal you can use a simple DVI to HDMI plug adapter that changes the physical connections.

The DVI-D to HDMI adaptor passes DVI-D video signals through to the compatible pins for use with HDMI equipment.

The video will transfer without a hitch, but DVI does not have audio options, so you will either need to use a DVI to HDMI converter or a DVI to HDMI adapter with audio.
