Not confusing at all .... go with the DVI to Component adapter.

Gotta belive those 3 additional pins carry some signal (otherwise why would a manufacturer spend the extra $$$ to make it w/ those 3 additional pins). If there is some additional signal carried over those 3 extra pins, getting a 4 pin to 4-pin, or a 7 -pin to 4 pin cable, I'm going to be losing that.
