Hi Claude,<br><br>I have used the HDMI to DVI cables for the Pi from MCM; they run $4.34 including tax and shipping. They work well but I will never buy from MCM again for simply horrid customer service.<br><br>I wouldn't pay more than $8 delivered.<br>

I noticed the HDMI to VGA with audio cable on the Adafruit website and<br>
tried to order but had to create an account but didn't like the $12<br>
shipping for a $25 part. Oh wait, I just checked and it now says<br>
$4.33. I swear it was telling me $12 last night and I'm pretty sure I<br>
had only the one item in my cart. Anyway, went looking around and saw<br>
similar cables listed on other websites but of course they don't<br>
mention if it was specifically tested with the raspberryPi in mind and<br>
some even have a disclaimer saying there may be performance problems<br>
if the input and output frequencies don't match. I was also going to<br>
order the miniature WiFi adapter but they are out of stock as well but<br>
they said they have tested this as well. I found another website that<br>
has both but again, not tested.<br>
<br>
Has anyone tried this type of converter and is there likely to be<br>
compatibility problem? Adafruit says they have specifically tested<br>
the cable they offer with a rPi and a VGA monitor which is exactly<br>
what I plan to do.<br>
