DVI-D Monitors
There are many monitors that can be used with the BeagleBoard. With the integrated EDID
feature, timing data is collected from the monitor to enable the SW to adjust its timings.
Table 42
shows a short list of the monitors that have been tested to date on the BeagleBoard at the
1024x768 resolution. Please check on
for an up to date listing of the DVI-D
monitors as well as information on the availability of drivers.

DO NOT PLUG IN THE DVI-D CONNECTOR TO A DISPLAY WITH THE
BEAGLEBAORD POWERED ON. PLUG IN THE CABLE TO THE DISPLAY
AND THEN POWER ON THE BEAGLEBOARD.
The digital portion of the DVI-D interface is compatible with HDMI and is electrically
the same. A standard HDMI cable may be used to connect to the HDMI input of
monitors. Whether or not the Beagle will support those monitors is dependent on the
timings that are used on the Beagle and those that are accepted by the monitor. This may
require a change in the software running on the Beagle. The audio and encryption
features of HDMI are not supported by the Beagle.
