    Guys, I just discovered the Playbook HDMI out / bluetooth keyboard functionality. This makes for an excellent laptop/desktop replacement with Citrix Receiver. I have some hdmi cables on the way but was hoping someone has a recommendation on a particular HDMI to DVI converter that has been confirmed to work with the playbook. I'd hate to get one in and it doesn't work. Let me know. Thanks!

    There's some HP converter to go to vga. I'm not sure of DVI.

    You shouldn't really need a converter. HDMI and DVI are really the same thing with the exception that DVI only carries video while HDMI carries audio and video. I run a DVI to HDMI cable to connect my PC to my HDMI HDTV, and it works fine with no conversion needed. I would think that something like this should work- https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-5...item3cc55f33b4

    Awesome. Thanks. I'll check it out. I want to get to the point where I have a small bluetooth mouse/keyboard and a cable with me at all times so I an hook my playbook to a tv, lcd monitor and work wherever, whenever...

    You just need a HDMI to DVI adapter which is very common. I have a couple sitting here in the house whch comes with Video cards.

    Bear in mind that when using Citrix receiver and HDMI connect to LCD monitor you only get 1024x600 resolution.
