Viewsonic VT2430 HDTV Connections
I'm considering this TV:
Viewsonic VT2430 24" LCD HDTV - 1080p, 1920x1080, 1000:1 Native, 10000:1 Dynamic, 5ms, 16:9, VGA, HDMI at TigerDirect.com
And I just got off the phone with TD sales support, where they verified that the set does have HDMI input, despite the fact that the pictures only shows the VGA port. I intend to use this set for double duty has both a TV and as a monitor, which means that I would need to use a cable that I have with DVI on one end, and HDMI on the other.
When I tried to use this cable on my Acer monitor, I only got a black screen, and Acer support said that I had to use a straight DVI to DVI connector for it to work, but this set doesn't have a DVI connector, and VGA is not desirable.
When I questioned the rep about this, he said that I SHOULD be able to use the composite cable okay, but I really don't want the hassle of learning the hard way that it won't. Does anyone have any experience with this brand or model that would relate?
