Multiple Converters to HDMI?

[boyagin]

Hi all, I have a question here.

Are we able to use 2 converters to one display?
For example, display card (Display Port output) > through "Active Display Port Converter to DVI-I" cable > Dvi to VGA Converter > Vga to Vga Cable > Monitor?

Will this work?

Probably, but with a loss of quality.

What are you trying to accomplish? Maybe if we know what it is end-to-end we can give you a better answer. Run a VGA-only monitor off a Display Port output?

Bingo mate! I think DP to VGA will work the best but I'm gonna replace the monitor (with VGA port only) which currently using to DVI one. And soon, I'm gonna purchase DP-to-VGA converter.

Just out of curiosity, I wonder if the setup I mentioned at the first post works, or has anyone has done this before.

Thank btw mate.

I have ventured down that road because HP started putting DP connections on their new workstations within the last few years. I just purchased a Displayport to DVI cable - monoprice baby:

I'm typing on a DVI monitor attached via a DisplayPort+ to DVI cable myself.
