[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1213808, member: 24160"] Just to add a little to the above: The DVI ports found on computers are capable of passing both, analog and digital. However, you cannot get both types of output when plugging it into some port that is only sending it one type. General rule of thumb: You should have a maximum of 2 connection types in a combination going from device to device. Three connection types in a chain to make a single connection almost always leads to failure. Plugging one adapter into another adapter is just a bad idea. Anyone considering the purchase of an adapter to plug into another adapter should ask prior to purchase (or just don't do it). And I don't mean your local Best Buy or even Apple store sales rep.
