As what the display is called is purely cosmetic I would never let that stop me. Is there more to this story?
Is LG not answering your questions? (or the person that sold this?)
Hello,
Happy to help here and sorry you are having trouble.
If we are understanding correctly, this should help:
Using DVI to HDMI is equivalent to using an HDMI cable in video quality; however, the DVI interface does not support audio so this connection will require a separate audio cable to be used.
Be sure to change the input on the TV to "PC" and make sure the PC is already set to the correct output and supported resolution.
If all else fails, please contact our customer service line at 1-800-243-0000.
Hope this helps.
