    DVI to HDMI cable?

    I have a 32" HDTV, which has hdmi. I wanted to connect my imac to it using the dvi-out port on the imac. Are there cables out there which would enable me to do this, as I really can't find any.

    Muchos thanks.

    Thanks for that Dave87, however are you sure the cable will work for dvi to hdmi? As it is advertised as hdmi to dvi, and in the description talks about plugging a dvd player up to a dvi monitor.

    Sorry if its a stupid query, just don't wanna buy the wrong cable.

    A cable is just wire, in other words it is not uni-directional, and can carry data either way.
