autonomous_unit Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I received a Dell computer w/ a video card that has a "DMS59" connector, and a pigtail to convert this to dual VGA connectors, instead of the DVI-D I want for my LCD. Does anybody know if these adapters are easy to obtain locally in BKK, or am I going to have to order one from Dell to go with this silly computer? (I cannot believe they shipped a computer w/ this connector, a pigtail adapting to VGA, and an LCD capable of DVI-D input. Who wants to use analog inputs with a brand new, high-res LCD?)

Tywais Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 My LCD monitor came with a DVI to DVI cable, are you sure your's didn't? If not, should not be a problem to find in places like Pantip. Even out in the sticks here in Chiangmai I've seen them available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autonomous_unit Posted November 3, 2006 Author Share Posted November 3, 2006 The LCD came with a DVI-D cable. But the video card has ONLY a DMS59 connector, which is this bizarre little rectangular forest of pins that contains dual VGA and dual DVI signals, according to wikipedia! So, I need a pigtail to split out one of the DVI ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
