dad purchased a new boat chart-plotter and it has optional output to connect to other display devices (eg, a tv in the gallery).
it appears his tv does not support the output resolution of the chart-plotter, and is looking at options (eg, video converter).
the plot-charter video-out is DVI and his tv input is HDMI. he has purchased a dvi-i --> to --> hdmi cable to connect the two devices.
unit: NSE8 Chartplotter / Multifunction Display

the boat has this samsung 32" television:

i am not sure of the supported resolutions.
this is the video converter he is looking at purchasing:

can anyone provide any insight on this scenario? is this a sufficient product to function as video resolution converter, or is there something better/more cost-effective on the market ?
