Solid build quality; works as advertised; excellent value; reputable company (see reviews for their HDMI cables); if I need one again, I will not hesitate to buy from them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well built, but needs a better description, October 1, 2010

(Reviewed after a few days use.)

This adapter seems well built --it certainly works for me even though I had to really FORCE it while connecting it to my Samsung 2233SW 21.5-Inch Full HD Widescreen LCD Monitor.

You should note that "Sound quality" is not relevant to this adapter since the DVI-D interface does not carry audio. Instead you must use a separate audio connector. (I use the analog "headphone" port on my computer.) For those who are interested, you can find detailed information on the DVI standard in Upgrading and Repairing PCs (19th Edition), or at the Digital Display Working Group's (DDWG) non-commercial website.

I've reluctantly taken one point off my rating because this product needs a better description. I rarely let a product's description affect my rating, but I've stuck with Mediabridge because they usually clearly describe their products so I KNOW what I'm buying before I buy it. Here they've failed to note that this is an HDMI female to DVD-D male adapter, and it's hard to find when searching Amazon for an adapter with those characteristics. Instead you have to carefully examine the (excellent) photographs to discover what you're buying. Also, the Product Description is incorrect in implying that the adapter provides "... crystal clear 8 channel digital audio" since, as noted above, the DVI-D interface does not carry audio.

That said, I've been delighted with the quality and reasonable price of Mediabridge products and this adapter is no exception.

This adapter does not transmit sound so be sure to use a cable for the sound separately.

I used the dvi-d to hdmi adapter to connect my mac mini to a 50" HD Plasma and the picture is GREAT and the quality of the product is very nice and you couldn't find a better product for a better price

I recommend it very much
