Product Description

From the Manufacturer

High Performance Connection Between Female DVI components and Male HDMI Cables Made Easy
HDMI, the new standard in high-definition digital audio/video is compatible with the industry’s other leading digital video connection, DVI*. So if you have DVI components or display in your system and buy a new HDMI-capable component, compatibility is guaranteed. All you need is the right adapter. Monster’s Male DVI to Female HDMI® MKII Adapter makes it easy to enjoy the ultra-high definition video HDMI delivers (including 1080p video from HDMI-capable sources with HDMI cable, like Blu-ray Disc™/HD DVD™ players and PlayStation® 3) to existing DVI-capable displays and components. This highest-quality adapter features an advanced design includes corrosion-resistant 24k gold contacts, silver-coated copper conductors and oversized PowerScrews® for ultra-secure connection that’s easy to remove/install. It's the fastest and easiest way to “adapt” your HDMI and DVI components. *DVI does NOT transmit audio. Though HDMI format is a transmitter of audio/video, DVI format transmits video only, so audio signal from HDMI components will be lost when run through adapter. Audio signal must be routed through alternative wires.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality. Stay with included in the box sound cards adapters., February 10, 2010

This review is from: Monster 127857 Male DVI to Female HDMI Cable Adapter (Electronics)

I use HDTV as a computer monitor. I connected a HDMI cable from HDMI TV input to the graphic card (DVI output) of my computer. I bought this adapter to connect my HDTV in the DVI output from graphic card of my computer.
It is quite difficult to me to understand why this adapter (that shines like gold and appears to be well constructed), why it delivers poor image and sound quality. And, when I say poor, it is a image worst than 480 lines and degraded color and sound. But it is what it is. On the other hand, other adapter (DVI to HDMI) that looks cheap and came together with my graphic card just works and delivers full 32 bits color and full 1920x1080 resolution without lag or others problems.
Do not waste your money.
Use the adapters from your graphic card and forget monsters adapters and monsters cables.

This adapter is a waste of money. When I used it to hook my HDMI in port on my HDTV to my DVI out port on my video card, the picture degradation is extremely noticeable, especially around text and highlights in pictures. There are cheaper and better adapters out there by far.
