DVI/HDMI cable for Laptop to Projector?
Im debating on alot of set-ups for my next home theater system. I have a sager np9262 "DVI" and i found 2 projectors with a big difference in price.
A Optoma HD65 / HD803 The 65 has multiple inputs, is just dosen’t have a dvi input. Running at around 1,000 bones. The 803 is DVI compatable only at 2 G’s. I was looking at the variety of cables, DVI/HDMI for instance. The main question is, if i went with the 65 and used the DVI to HDMI cable from laptop to Projector. Will the audio go to the projector, or not? Im puzzled, because im going to hook up the audio output jack to a Home theater Surround sound system "Cerwin Vega" YaY! I hope this makes sense to most of you. I want DVI output from my Laptop, and keep my sound output so i can use it for my stereo. Normally HDMI carriers the sound to the video source…if im correct. Any suggestions are welcome, and if your interested in my set-up. Shoot me a message. Thanks Joe

I don’t like either of those projectors, but the 803 is 1920×1080, and the 65 is only 1280×720.
If I had to pick between the two, it would be the 803 all day every day. If you’d like an alternative between them, I’d go with the Epson Powerlite Home Cinema 1080.
Projectors don’t do sound. HDMI to a projector can be with or without sound – it doesn’t matter.
