Hi Fizzelo, I have followed up your post and purchased "hdmi to dvi-d" connector for my TV which is LG RZ-32LZ55. I think its a pretty old tv and am stuck with it.
I couldn't get my chromecast connected to this TV using the above hdmi to dvi-d connector. It says no signal.
What am I missing here? Any help/comments would be greatly appreciated.
Any idea why this wouldn't work?
Bought the same adapter from Pimoroni plugged it in but monitor says "no signal"
Chromecast works on normal TV with HDMI.
Are there specific requirements of the monitor other than a DVI input?
Great setup
