do you think an hdmi to dvi cable will fix my hum bar?

[Randall_Lind]

I hook my pc to my hdtv I have a slight hum bar. People told me I should get a hdmi to dvi cable so I order a 25 ft cable more then long enough for $30 at Newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16812270116

Will this fix my issue? I know the 60mhz hum bar is more then likely cause by the power supply. I had to get a isolator when I connected my PC to my stereo to stop the humming sound. I have seen a s-video isolater but not a vga or hdmi one so I am hoping this works.

It depends if your HDTV can take the signal over HDMI, i think it's called 1:1 pixel mapping or something.

I have this: http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores...tegoryID=502964

Magnavox 32 inch it is a 1080i TV no idea why everyone list it has a 720p only. It even says 1080i on the box. I got mine from Samsclub $548+hdmi cable cost $628 with tax.

So how would I know if the TV can take the singal? I order the cable anyway so I guess I will know this weekend if not Monday.

it is a 720p TV because it's native resolution is 1366x768 (terminology / standards confusion.... ), yes it accepts 1080i signal, but the 1080i signal is then scaled down to 1366x768. on that note, It really doesn't matter for 32in as you wont see much difference between full 1080p on that size tv.

btw: a 720p signal is scaled to 1366x768 - the native res of the TV

Thanks for the information. I looked at 720p and 1080i and I can't tell the different and along as my tv takes 1080i I will keep it at that. I really don't understand p and i all I know it looks awesome to me.
