Just get it, and it works fine with my laptops. The picture quality is very good and you can get a full HD resolution with it. Good product and cheap price. Recommend to everyone.

Recently I purchased a dvi dual link to hdmi cable to interface from my comcast dvr to my new tv. The quality was much better than I expected and it works great!
Radio shack had the same item for nearly $100 and it had to special ordered. I had mine in about 10 days for much much less. Bottom line that it a high quality cable and the price is right. Very pleased.

I am extremely happy with the DVI-HDMI cableI bought and the services were excelent, so I recomend this product to anybody who is looking for it.

I purchased this cable based on its claim of Dual Link capability (a full 24 pins) and was not disappointed (qood quality and no "missing" digital pins). The cable has a good thickness and seems well shielded. The shroud sizes are good and do not interfere with adjacent cables. The locking screws are easy to engage. Unfortunately, my equipment (an older AGP Quadro 4 and a low end 24" Samsung HD LCD does not antialias the digital signal and text is overly sharp and blocky. (I've lost the remote control for the monitor and its side buttons do not provide a fine grained level of control.) So I have returned to the original VGA cable, whose frequency limited "soft performance" looks better with the existing equipment. I will try the cable on a better class of hardware and display and report more later on. Recommendation is positive, however.

I bought the wrong kind. If you need this, contact me and I'll send it to you. I tried to hook the pc to the tv.. wrong ends on the thing.

The quality of this cable is horrible. The blacks appear grey, and the whites appear washed out. I did not have this problem with the previous cable I was using. I had attempted to correct the problem through calibration, but the problem still remained. I'm going to be returning this cable.

The cable was not actually a dual link, although externally it had all the pins on the DVI end, as a dual link would. I needed a dual link cable to get a refresh rate of 120 Hz on a 3D monitor. I was hoping to negate the need for an active dual link to display port adapter, but sadly I was disappointed. The shipping was 3x the cost of the product.

HDMI has 19 pins. Google "HDMI" and "wiki." DVI single link has 19 pins. Google "DVI" and "wiki." DVI dual link has 25 pins. You ever wonder... where do the extra 6 pins go? I mean it's just a cable. It doesn't have a controller chip or anything....

I shall leave these hearts for y'all as a reminder that the ability to count up to 25 is good for you: <3 <3 <3

EDIT: Just to make things clear, the pins in the middle don't go anyway. You can only get single link speeds. So no 3D. You need a new video card. ;-)
