I was considering solution #3 base on this one comment
does this work with an ati video card?
i read this on the reviews
Does NOT work with ATI video cards
I purchased this along with 2 50ft CAT6 cables, and they worked perfectly with my XBOX 360. However, I bought this item with the intent to use it with my ATI video card's DVI/HDMI adapter, thus allowing me to watch video from my PC to my TV.
Unfortunately, I was never able to get said combination to work. I spent 9 hours trying various combinations of drivers, settings, cables, etc to hopefully make this work. I was not able to get a picture to show, let alone sound. After a 1hr long conversation with tech support here on Monoprice, we determined that these wallplates are simply not compatible with the video cards. I know it's not the video card (Sapphire 4890) either, since I was able to get a picture and sound when hooked up directly with an HDMI cable.
So yeah, this product is great for extending something like a console or set-top box, but steer clear if you want to use this with your video card.
