    Will a DVI input work on this screen?
    Hi everyone,

    I have HP L2045w screen (http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/ca/en...057.html?dnr=1) and I want to connect a HDMI input to the DVI input on this, but it says that the input signal is a 15-pin D-sub VGA, however on the video input signal it says two connectors: one 15-pin mini D-sub analog VGA and one DVI-D (VGA analog or digital).

    Do you know if it will work from a HDMI to a DVI?

    Thanks

    Yes, there is a DVI connector and it will work.

    Also, if you actually have the monitor, why not just turn it over and simply look at it?

    I did, but was not sure it would work as I've always had the connection through the VGA port..

    So you thought the port was just there as a joke?
