Can HD+ cable be used with regular screen?

#1 Post by Flemingo » Thu Nov 19, 2015 5:01 am

Well, I have ordered an HD+ cable from eBay and need to confirm whether it works or not. The HD+ replacement screen will arrive in a couple of weeks but I wanted to make sure the cable works so that I can report it accordingly to eBay in time. So... can I use HD+ (1600x900) cable on the regular 1366x768 screen or not, without causing any burn outs...?

Thanks

No issues. The HD+ cable has additional wires, which are not used/connected by the HD (1366x768) screen.
