I have a flat-panel LCD display for my computer with a VGA input. There is a DVI-I port on my PC, but I don't have a DVI cable, or a DVI port on the monitor. I found an adapter at The Source by Circuit City, but it is not compatible. Is there an adapter available to convert a DVI-I signal to VGA, or is it not possible?

Yes, a DVI-I can output analog and digital computer signals. VGA is analog, so it will work. You can go to any computer store and buy a DVI to VGA adapter. Then, you will be able to use a standard VGA cable with it. The adapter should cost about $5.
If you can't find one anywhere, you can order one from Newegg.com, whcih is the most popular online computer store in the U.S.

No. the full concept of DVI is you deliver digital sign all the way with the aid of from laptop to television with out any analog. VGA port is analog. you could no longer convert analog back to digital (nicely, you could, yet you lose any benefit of having a digital enter interior the 1st place) maximum TVs that have DVI ought to probable have a VGA plug too.

Cyberguys has one.
