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.
This is a great connector, but there was an unforeseen problem with my intended use for it. Hopefully I can save someone the trouble. I planned to connect a DVD upconverter (HDMI) to a computer monitor (DVI). Like I said, the connector is fine, I got everything hooked up, and when I turned it on a picture flickered on the screen and then it went blank. Turns out after reading through the manuals that the DVD player requires the monitor to be HDCP compliant. So it works, but since it's afraid I might be using it to make illegal copies of something it shuts off my picture immediately. I'm really rather frustrated that once again a DRM scheme has made something less convenient for a legitimate customer. So it's back to my 19" TV from 1995 until I can save up enough for a brand new monitor/TV with HDCP. Isn't progress great? I'm sure I'll find some other use for this nice adapter.

I wanted to connect my computer to a HDTV using this "DVI to HDMI adapter" - this worked and I have a crystal clear picture. Saved me from buying a graphics video card with a HDMI output.

It was my intent to use this adapter to hook my ps3 to my computer monitor. Everything I was reading on the interwebs said this would work and there will be no problems. They were wrong. After spending hours trying to figure out why it wasn't recognizing the signal, I found a comment explaining it all: This adapter only works in one direction. Meaning, it will turn DVI into HDMI to hook up to a television or monitor, but it will not turn HDMI into DVI. "Information that could have been brought to my attention yesterday!" (in my best Jimmy Fallon playing Adam Sandler in SNL's celebrity Jeopardy voice) I'm keeping the product, since at some point I will want to hook my desktop up to the tv permanently, and this will come in handy at that point.

I'm not sure what to say about an adapter, other than it worked as it was advertised. Our projector had a DVI input and no HDMI and our TV and laptops both had an HDMI output. This $2 fix was all that we needed to be able to hook everything up as we wanted it.

I bought this for my old computer when I first got my flat screen tv. My old video card only had a dvi output so I bought this to connect it. I works great just pluged it into the card and pluged the hdmi cable into it that simple.

Received item when promised, but it was in bad shape (not from shipping). One of the pins on the DVI connector was bent over and another pin was half as long as the others. I didn't even plug it in because I didn't want to risk damaging my equipment with this cheap connector. A SIMPLE visual inspection before shipping would have revealed that the product was damaged... I guess that's to much to ask.

It converts HDMI to DVI-D. Yknow? Not much else to say. I use it to connect my laptop and my DVI monitor with a Mini-HDMI to HDMI and this adapter. Works fine.
