Hello,
I have a question...
I would like to connect this projector to my PC for using  it on a screen when I play X-Plane (and other games too..)
The instruction manual of this device say that when I want to connect it to a PC I should use a D-SUB type cable (check attached pictures).
My question...since I have two GTX980Ti Classified on SLI,  would it be possible to connect this projector directly to one of the HDMI ports on the GPU's, instead of using a D-SUB cable ?
Eventually...at which port I should connect it ?
Thanks !

    The print is to small to read, can you post the make and model number of Your Projector.

    Yes, you can connect using hdmi. Use the hdmi output on the first card closest to the cpu socket.

    DE-15 (D-Sub) is the VGA connector which your card doesn't have. They must be suggesting it because laptops use them (older ones). But there is no reason that you need to use it and the HDMI is there for your GPU and newer laptops.

    Basically, use the HDMI and enjoy!

    EDIT: It's probably labeled PC for low tech people so they can use it without too much help (we all know a few). The manual calls it D-Sub which is really high tech of them as it should just be called VGA.
