so i'm looking at a way to get my PS3 hooked into my computer monitor (no HDMI), and DVI looks like a solid option.

Heres the thing:



my monitor looks like it has a plug for the bottom, dual link version of HDMI. my buddy has a TV with (again sadly no HDMI) what looks like the top, single link version.

if i get a converter for HDMI to single link, will it work on my monitor's dual link, as well?

 

short answer...no

 

im retarded and dont know what your're asking but im using a 4 dollar ebay dvi to hdmi cable to connect my 360 (hdmi) to computer monitor (dvi) and it works fine

 

well there's 2 types of DVI's, was wondering if the male one with less pins would still fit/work in a female one with the more pins, essentially.

 

yes
