<![CDATA[HMDI (from Pi 3) to DVI? Will it work?]]>Will the HANNspree HF225DPB monitor work for the Magic Mirror application?

It doesn’t have an HDMI input, but could I just use an HDMI to DVI cable to connect the Pi 3 to the monitor?

Thanks!

You could go for this: https://thepihut.com/products/raspberry-pi-hdmi-to-vga-convertor
However the “chain” looks a bit ugly (second image) and I could imagine it is a bit unsteady.

Or you go for this: https://www.pi-supply.com/product/gert-vga-666-hardware-vga-raspberry-pi/
However this blocks almost all GPIO ports and you need to solder it on your own, as it is a kit

You would need convertor which is a bit larger than you would expect and often need to be powered.

Works just fine
