The DVI connector here is a single-link DVI-D, where D stands for "digital only signal." That means it works with most modern equipment but if you have a video card, TV, or something else from the early 2000s, you might want to check if they can send or receive digital signal over DVI.
The "single-link" refers to the throughput; in other terms, to the resolution you can get on your screen. Theoretically, maximum screen resolution at 60 Hz you can get is 2.75 megapixels or this, in more convenient terms:
✔ 16:10 ratio of 2,098 × 1,311
✔ 4:3 ratio of 1,915 × 1,436 pixels
✔ 5:4 ratio of 1,854 × 1,483 pixels
As you can see, the standard 720, 1080i, and even 1080p, the later being 2.1 megapixel or 1920×1080, should be supported.
Your mileage, however, will vary. The maximum resolution you will get will depend on the specs of your equipment that you interconnect with this cable, and how those two pieces of equipment communicate with each other. In other words, you can hope for 1080p and you might even get it; but you might have to settle for 1080i.
One more thing worth noting - this will not carry audio from HDMI. You'll need to route audio signal separately.
The quality of cables that you receive will vary - there are way too many sellers that carry them. However, unless there's a major problem with it - bent pins, extra or missing pins, you cannot tighten the screws on the DVI connector, etc, they all should work just fine. If you have a problem, just return it for a replacement or simply return it and get it from another seller. BTW, don't let them get you on return shipment and restocking fees - it's not going to fly here. If you are asked to do any of that, just tell the seller you'll contact Amazon support to confirm if that is actually in the rules. They'll fold.
There are more expensive cables out there that are supposedly of better quality, but this one should work just as well.

Amazon Basics HDMI to DVI Cable To Upgrade With Old Monitors
Distractor_Beam
I received my HDMI Male to DVI D Male cable in the mail today, hoping to be able to hook up a secondary monitor (with a DVI D out) to my laptop that only has HDMI input. The HDMI Male adapter fit perfectly into my laptop, with no problems what soever, but the DVI D adapter would not go into my monitor... I made sure that it was flipped the correct way, and that it was going in at a straight angle, but no luck. I tried an old DVI D to DVI D cord that I had to make sure it wasn't the port on the monitor, and my old cord worked fine. Then, I noticed that the prongs on the DVI D adapter looked different from the prongs on my old DVI D cord. The prongs on the DVI D adapter that I ordered were placed lower on the piece compared to my old cord. My old cord had the prongs centered vertically on the piece, where as the prongs on the ordered cord were shifted down, and almost touched the metal plate on the piece. I'm assuming this is why it won't fit into my monitor, but it also may be because the DVI D adapter is way too bulky... The ordered piece is about 1 centimeter longer than my old DVI D piece, which makes it a tough fit on the back of my monitor, but to me this doesn't look like it's messing up the angle that it's entering the port.I'm willing to say that there isn't much quality of work put into assembling these pieces, which leaves a few bad ones in the bunch that get through, so if you're looking for something that is guaranteed to work, then I wouldn't count on this item 100%.In the pictures, the bronze adapter is the one I ordered, and the white/silver one is the one I ordered.
