HDMI question

Hi,

Im considering purchasing a Maximus V Gene however I noticed that it does not have a dvi connection on the back (not a problem since it has hdmi). From the reviews I read I saw that the hdmi on the back has a maximum resolution of 1920x1080 however I have a 24" monitor that has a resolution of 1920x1200. Using the hdmi connection on the back (along with a dvi to hdmi adaptor) will I not be able to run my monitor at its native resolution?

Thanks for the help!

If you're Not going to be using a graphic card you may have to run your monitor under it's max res.. It will still work ok.

Ah thats a bummer. Im guessing I wont have the same problem with the display port. Is there any software that will allow me to force a resolution because Ive read elsewhere where people are getting above 1080p (albeit with other systems such as laptops etc.)

Yeah a simple adaptor is the best bet. Easy and elegant. Repped t3kn33k

According to this Asus link, the Maximus V Gene supports 1920x1200 out of its HDMI port. I have a 1920x1200 NEC 2490WUXi2 monitor. Will a HDMI to DVI convertor work?

Basically yes you can,because both digital signals,
HDMI signals contain sound,but DVI signals no

Check your monitor's ports for a digital display port as some displays have em, I know most Dells do. IF not you could buy a displayport to DVI adapter, bear in mind the signals will be all digital.

It is an NEC, it is DVI-D only. From what I've read the DisplayPort converters are finicky and more expensive. I want to try HDMI out first. The monitor only supports a max of 1920x1200 (single link DVI) so HDMI 1.0 should work, plus Asus says it will put out that much. I was just confused by the OP's question.
