Our cable company does not have HD cable boxes with HDMI connectors, so they connect the box to HDTVs using component video cables. The picture is pretty good, but the box has a DVI out and the TV has an HDMI in, so I bought this cable and gave it a try. It noticeably improved the HD picture. This cable is a single-link DVI and the box connector is a double-link type, but it seems to make no difference. So if you have HDMI on your cable box, use it; if you have DVI-out, this cable might be the second-best choice. I am happy with the improvement. Even the non-HD channels look better.

(later addition ...) After the cable company made changes in their signal, this cable would no longer work properly. I found it necessary to switch to the RGB cable.

I connected my Macbook Pro to the TV to watch online shoes and movies on my TV flat screen and it works great. The quality is really good.

These are premium cables, it is very difficult to find these in stores, and they work just as well as monster, yet are commercial grade. Very clear image, 1080P compatible - needs a screen that will handle it. I might get the longer ones when my TV shows up. These are heavy duty cables, and they are heavy. I recommend these over monsters because they are cheaper in price, but not in quality.

I just bought an HD DVD player, but I have an "older" 1080i Sony television. I had done my homework, and knew before I bought the player that I would need a conversion cable. I was looking for a brand name cable, but did not want to pay "monster" prices. This cable fit the bill perfectly.

I had purchased a much cheaper DVI to HDMI cable thinking that it was a bargain. The cheaper cable didn't last very long and required a lot of tweaking. Eventually I ended up purchasing the Belkin cable, and it has lasted much longer. It's definitely worth the few more bucks for a high quality cable that can survive some bending.

One thing I wasn't sure of from the description and the other reviews is if this is a HDMI-to-DVI device, DVI-to-HDMI or both. Well I can state from first hand experience it works great from HDMI our our Tivo to the DVI input on our Sony TV. We were running low on component inputs on the TV, but it had a DVI input we had never used. Since the Tivo had HDMI output I thought I'd give this cable a chance and it works great.

Just used this to connect my blu ray to my older sony tv that didnt have hdmi on it but was hd ready and it looks great no issues

My monitor has a VGA and DVI connector capability, a VGA cable is what was supplied with the monitor, the computer has VGA and HDMI connectors. While the monitor has no speakers the DVI to HDMI connection certainly appears to provide a sharper brighter picture. Imagination or just a desire for not having wasted 21 bucks, who knows? Would I do it again, yes and recommend the analog to digital swap looking for an improved display.

Very happy with this cable and glad I didn' go for cheaper alternatives. Good value.

Bought it to connect my computer to my TV
and it's working great.
