wdtv live hdmi to a regular dvi monitor

Just for fun, I thought I'd hook up a wdtv live plus hd to a dvi monitor Dell 2007FP to see what'd happen.

DVI is basically HDMI (without sound) so it should work in theory. All you really need is an HDMI to DVI cable. (or is that DVI to HDMI cable)

I plug it in and turn it on and I get a funny looking screen that's got a pink shade, but if I go into settings and force a 720p 60hz mode everything looks proper. The Dell 2007FP can't do 1920x1080p since it tops out at 1600x1200 but 1280x720p looks pretty good.

Now to find some speakers to hook up to the wdtv.
