Hello,
I have a Toshiba HL167 (42" 1080p LCD) and I want to hook it up to my PC and fiddle around with a few games. I thought it might be interesting to play console-ish games (Lost Planet) on the TV with my xbox360 controller.
Anyways, I bought a SINGLE LINK DVI-D->HDMI cable (5 metres) and I could only get it up to 1920x1080x30 (1080i...still good but not good enough). I presume this is because, while single link cables are capable of 1080p, the one I happened upon is not rated for it (when I try to force 1080p, I get no signal on the TV). This means I will probably have to look for a 1080p rated single link or any dual link then right? Can anyone verify this? I'd like to be absolutely certain before I make a purchase.
Thanks!
