USB to DVI/HDMI with 1080p?

[cclloyd9785]

Does anyone know of a cable that can turn a USB 2.0 port and connect it to a DVI or HDMI input with full 1080p? Audio doesnt matter, but if possible I would like that too.

Don't know about a cable, but will this work?

I downloaded the PDF, and it says the max output is 1600x1200 and 1680x1050.

Edit: Actually I kinda need the audio too. So a USB to HDMI with audio.

Both those only go to 720p. I need 1920x1080.

Sorry, I just saw "USB to HDMI with audio" -- I didn't actually read thru the entire specifications.

Are you unable to connect an audio cable from the audio out on the PC to the HDMI device??? That would give you the audio too.

You should keep in mind that the majority of the adapters below will allow you to have another desktop through this connection, however it will not allow you to have the two desktops be extensions. They will have to be clones. In other words, they will have to look the same.

I need 1080 only. Im hooking it up to my TV. Not sure ifI can connect an audio cable to it though, so audio is preffered with it. But it has to be 16:9 and 1920x1080.

I would say the 1600x1200 should scale down to 1080p, but I dont know if it will.

Edit: Sorry didn't see the first spec of 1920x1080, I guess then 1600x1200 wouldn't work

I have my computer connected DVI to HDMI and a separate audio cable. Works perfectly. I would try the USB to HDMI and the audio cable and see if that works.

Are you trying to connect your computer to a TV. You will need a HDMI output to make that work and have audio. USB and DVI do not support either Video (USB) or DVI (Sound).
To get a HDMI output you'll need a new Video Card.

Will you be trying to play any HDCP content?

Pardon me for being ignorant!

So, on the back of my TV, the first HDMI says HDMI/DVI. Does that mean it can also be a PC connection, which means that when i hook an HDMI into it, it will get audio if avalible from the Audio in near the PC input?

Your graphic card must support audio output throughmode for that.

Right click on the speaker and select "Playback devices", mine says something like "ATI HDMI Output", and I must select it as default device so it "transmits" the audio through the HDMI,

Hi, have a look at DisplayLink Store , most if not all of the adapters there support 1080p.
unfortunately none of them support audio as they are all VGA/DVI.
I am currently using a Displaylink bases Samsung Monitor and it works like a charm in 1080p.

Thank you to the DisplayLink post. I found a DVI one, and plugged it in and it worked as long as I had it set to the first HDMI to PC instead of other.
