Don't let the cheap price put you off. It's a sturdy, very well-constructed cable, gold-plated contacts, and works excellently. I was running my brand-new LCD monitor with an analog vga cable (and an extender, because the cable I had wasn't long enough) and was seeing some ghosting with that cable setup - this two-meter cable is plenty long enough to use without the extender and works fine with a Radeon 9000 video card on its DVI port. Ghosting is gone, image is sharp - great cable for an unbelievable price.

This is a very high quality cable. It has all the right materials, specifically high-performance polypropylene foam dielectric on the signal lines. The connectors are large and solidly molded.

Didn't know how much I was missing till I used the dual DVI outputs on my video card and the dual inputs (HD15 and DVI) on my LCD. I could switch back and forth between the two. Set-up a short looping video and watched it a few dozen times to see the difference. It was more than enough to justify the extra expense (small) of buying this cable.

Now, on to the cable. It went into the connector smooth and the thumbscrews were easy enough to turn. Cable was thick and seemed adequately shielded. Gold coating looked evenly applied. No issues at all.

The cable is fine for a single-link DVI-D cable. It, however, is not dual-link as advertised.

Like others, the very low price for this cable made me suspicious, but it is exactly what it purports to be, a DVI-D digital dual link cable. Quality-wise the cables are as good as any I've seen from major suppliers. I bought two of them to gain the advantage of a digital connection between my PC and LCD monitors rather than use the analog cables supplied by the vendor. Monitors generally only require single link, but dual link works just as well; the extra wiring for the dual link capability just goes unused but for this price, who cares. Delivery was on schedule (actually a day early) to my doorstep by US mail. Note: if you are using these as I did, you may have to do some fiddling around with settings on both your monitor and your PC (i.e., display problems likely have nothing to do with cables). I'm using XP and that was easy enough using "display settings" (plus some tweaking via nVidia's software), but to get the monitor to give up on analog mode and reset itself for digital I had to actually pull the plug on the monitor so the monitor's "plug and play" would do the reset.
