Product Description

High Performance Connection Between HDMI and DVI Components / Cables Makes Hookup Easy! HDMI, the hottest high-definition digital audio/video standard, is compatible with all digital video connection, DVI. So, if you've got DVI components (like DVD player, Cable box, HDTV tuner with DVI outputs) in your system and buy a new HDMI-capable component (like Plasma TV or projector), compatibility is guaranteed.

Great DVI Converter...excellent quality. It worked perfectly via my HDMI cord when I used my PS3 on my Dell E228WFP 22" Monitor. Visuals on the LCD were amazing. There weren't any apparent loss of visuals. I would recommend this item...

1 thing though, the seller "Eforcity" has a thing for rapidly changing the price on this cable. I bought it for $1.92 a week ago, and as I write this review, the price is $11.48....that is not cool. So, keep that in mind as you buy it.

Overall, wonderful and effective item.

5.0 out of 5 stars HDMI cable converter, January 14, 2009

I purchased this converter so that I can hook up my desktop to my 47' Philips HDTV. It worked perfectly. I plugged it in and turned on my computer and that was it.

I would however have you verify that this is the product you actually need. Some computers may not actually have a DVI output but rather a VGA output. Make sure you are purchasing the right converter base on your computers capabilities.

This review is from: Eforcity HDMI-F to DVI-M Video Adaptor with Gold Contacts (Electronics)

This is a good DVI-to-HDMI converter that I'm currently using to connect a MacBook to a 720p HDTV through another adapter (mini-DVI-to-DVI). This adaptor suits that purpose well and displays the image as expected.

I was a bit concerned to see that one of the pins on the male DVI side was shorter than the others, but so far that doesn't seem to have caused any problems with the signal. Also, the physical connections on both the male DVI and female HDMI sides are very tight; I have to give an abnormal extra amount of force to join the adapter to my computer and my HDMI cable. I was initially worried that the extra force might cause some damage, but so far everything appears to be fine.

For the price, this adapter is an amazing deal. Although it doesn't seem to have been manufactured entirely correctly, this adapter does perform as expected and provides a great digital video signal.
