Everyone is describing these as using them with a DVI out and HDMI in, are they uni-directional? Could they also be used for HDMI out and DVI in?

Yes. I also once used it as DVI to HDMI and it worked! You've mentioned a good point many people miss.

Why on Earth would you subject yourself to an expensive and clunky dual-DVI converter instead of just using a Displayport cable??? I see this advice all the time and it dismays me.Oh, wait. It looks like this turkey actually doesn't have a DP input?? The mind boggles. That alone disqualifies it for me, a few more bucks gets a 2713HM.

I don't think that it is bi - directional; meaning that it's only vga to hdmi. I don't think that the signal is reversed from hdmi to vga. However you can try.

There is an adaptor from the old DVI to HDMI. They have been around for awhile. I believe that since HDMI carries both audio and HD video the same will be so through the DVI / HDMI adaptor.

Some of them having single while others have dual HDMI inputs. You have to find out which monitor you have; what series. I purchased this unit and it does not work; so be careful.

Please excuse my ignorance, but could someone tell me what HDMI out actually allows you to do? I'm guessing hook up your netbook to an external monitor/tv for alternate display? I'm I correct? Thanks!

I have used this in both modes HDMI and DVI. They both worked great for me.

Yes, excellent value for FHD screens. I plugged 2 into DVI and the third into a displayport to DVI adapter. Great for 3 monitor AMD Eyefinity/Nvidia Surround.

Unless you have some special speakers all computer spekaers and monitors will connect with the new and newer systems... you may have an issue with the monitor as most current systems have dropped the old VGA pin connector in favor a the new DVI/HDMI connections... so worst case you have to buy a cheap converter or invest in a new monitor... your eyes will appreciate that!

No, Hdmi 1 and 2 are inputs only to the monitor, they are not out put drivers.

These monitors have a DVI and an VGA connection. DVI and HDMI are digital, where VGA is analog. I would go with an HDMI to DVI cable to add to your existing DVI cable.

No, these are to pass an HDMI signal over CAT 5/6. If you had HDMI out on your computer you could do that. These basically allow long distance runs of HDMI.

This is cut from the Benq website ... Daniel T is mistaken about DisplayPort:D-sub / DVI / HDMI / Headphone jack (D-sub = VGA d connector, not DisplayPort)

r u going from HDMI out from comp to VGA in to project and not VGA out? Adapted not bi directional due to chip

At this point I cannot recommend these glasses over now existing products. I would checkout Nvidia's 3D Vision instead. Though to answer your question, these glasses have an adapter for a VGA/DSub monitor output (meaning no DVI/HDMI) that acts as a mediator giving a passthrough to your monitor and a syncing signal for the glasses to sync to the monitor refresh. And as mentioned in my review, you need to be careful with using these polarized filter glasses on LCD monitors (which also are polarized), as you'll likely get a very dark or no picture at all. However, either way, you need an external monitor to make it work, these glasses only blank out each eye at one time to sync each eyes view to the proper perspectives frame, they are not video monitors themselves.

There is no HDMI output on this device. The two horizontal ports you see are USB 3.0 ports for external HDD connection. These work fine.

Yes! One is HDMI and the other is DVI. I have two ASUS HD monitors on the system currently.
