Additional monitor

My boat has an upper and lower helm. My MFD12 is at the upper helm position where I am most of the time. I would like to mount a second monitor at the lower helm. The problem is finding a small monitor with a DVI input. I've read DVI-d and HDMI carry the same signal. Can I use a DVI to HDMI adapter and run an HDMI cable to the external monitor? Can I then use a wireless mouse to control the MFD12?
 
I have seen it done. The monitor needs to accept the resolution provided so I would get something that you can return if it doesn't sync. You can not load mouse drivers. The MFD12 can use a mouse. I have saw wireless versions work (like Gyration Pro) but it is important the mouse work fully Microsoft compatible without loading drivers.
