I have a 15' MBP retina (which has HDMI and Thunderbolt interfaces for connecting to external displays).

I was planning to buy [this](http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-CROSSOVER-27Q-LED-P-PIVOT-27-inch-S-IPS-2560x1440-Computer-Monitor-DVI-D-/330810935112?pt=Computer_Monitors&hash=item4d05de4748) 27' Crossover monitor (one of those Korean displays that have popular lately). I was planning to use it through a DVI-D to HDMI connector like the ones found [here](http://www.ebay.in/itm/HDMI-19-PIN-FEMALE-TO-DVI-D-24-1-25-PIN-MALE-GOLD-PLATED-CONNECTER-ADAPTER-/221195660762?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item338049edda&_uhb=1#ht_2878wt_1067) and [here](http://www.ebay.in/itm/DVI-D-Dual-Link-24-1-pin-25-PIN-Male-to-HDMI-Female-Adapter-Converter-Coupler-/181093457555?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item2a2a02de93&_uhb=1#ht_3874wt_1141).

However, the monitor seller's listing on the page says:

* *Do not use with port convertor*
* *No AD board internal GPU, APU, Laptop, Macbook are not compatible* (sic).

I have read that HDMI and DVI video signals are identical and they only differ in the physical connectors. 

If so, can I assume that my planned setup will indeed work with my MBP retina? If not, is there a workaround?
