DVI-D to HDMI or Vice versa

[Pigus]

Hello,

I recently built my first PC, and i still want to use my old monitor (LG Flatron W1943TE) but I don't have the cable to connect my monitor to the new graphics card (MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X).

Fortunately, my monitor supports DVI-D. I'm currently looking for a DVI-D dual link to connect my monitor and graphics card.

I would like to ask if a DVI-D to HDMI / HDMI to DVI-D cable will work? Like, if I plug the HDMI to the graphics card and the DVI-D part to the monitor.

Thanks.

Yes - hdmi dvi-d cable will work.
Your monitor doesn't really require dual link DVI cable. Single link cable is fine.

So i can use a dvi-d 18+1 pin on my monitor? How about on the graphics card, can i use it too?

Yes - it's perfectly fine, since your monitor is 1366x768.

Dual link cable is required for 1920x1080@85Hz and higher (also all 120Hz and 144Hz monitors require dual link cable).

Wow! Thanks.

I'll test it when i get home. Since, I'll be only using the old monitor temporarily while saving for a new one.
