> HDMI is, broadly speaking, a proprietary extension of DVI

It is but it's becoming hard to find monitors with dvi connectors, so i asked about hdmi which should be more common.

How you get your ancient analog output to a display with only digital in is becoming a problem. I don't know shit about how good or bad your average solution is so I ask.

[I don't have anything like the toy we're talking about in this thread, but I have a 486 with a Trident 512kb vga card and Syndicate on it in a closet]

You can get a DVI to HDMI adapter which costs less than a coffee.

Adding an HDMI connector is more likely to get you into expensive licensing discussions than DVI is.
