Does the job well and a great value to boot
(5 out of 5) by C. W. Toraason on Jan 26, 2006 (Misawa, Japan)I was a little sceptical of this cable due to it's low price... DVI to HDMI adapters usually aren't this cheap... However I needed a long cable and decided to give this a shot.
I'm pleased to say it works like a charm. I'm using this cable to connect my Home Theater PC (DVI output) to my LCD flatscreen TV (HDMI input) at a 1360x768 resolution. The cable is a good build and carries the signal well with no issues.
One thing that you should note is the DVI end is DVI-D single link. Not an issue for 99% of the users out there (single link provides more bandwidth than an HDTV can handle), but if you need the dual link cable look elsewhere.

Nice connection
(5 out of 5) by Chu on Aug 31, 2006 (At sea)The cable does what it is meant to do, which is more than good. It allowed me to use my Sharp 26" LCD TV as an external display for my MacBook Pro laptop.

Works Great
(5 out of 5) by pH on Feb 24, 2009 (San Francisco, USA)Connects my MacBook Pro to a Panasonic Plasma TV with no problem. The Mac recognized the TV and I could adjust all the monitor parameters using System Preferences. Perfect.

Good Value
(5 out of 5) by Michael Wilber on Apr 4, 2007I bought this cable so I could connect my PowerMac G5 to my 26" Sharp LC-26D40U HDTV. According to the manual for my TV, it claims that it doesn't support being connected to a PC, but I tried it, and it worked, though with some limitations. 720x480 and 1280x720 were the only resolutions which were not interlaced and not stretched, which, I'm sure, are the limitations of my particular TV. I tried other resolutions, but I did not like the interlacing. The funny thing is that the native resolution of my TV is 1366x768, but that resolution is not an option when I connect the TV to my computer.
I've tried viewing both web pages and videos on my HDTV using this cable. The web pages look good, but the text looks funny because of the anti-aliasing used to make the text look better on a regular LCD monitor. I've watched both low definition movies and 720p movie trailers and the quality was good. The 720p videos looked flawless, but I noticed some red patches when watching a particular low-def video. But, I'm guessing this had more to do with the particular video, the video player software and my TV than the DVI / HDMI cable.
As far as I can tell, the cable does what it is supposed to do and the quality is good.
