Excellent product Jun 12, 2007 By Brian L "Brian L"
I record HDTV off the air onto my computer and had been viewing the recorded video using the standard S-Video output on my graphics card. I bought this cable to connect the graphics card's high definition DVI output to the HDMI input on my plasma TV to get better video quality. It dramatically improved the video quality of the video on my screen to HD quality.

I was somewhat skeptical that this would be so, given the fact that this item cost only $12 and I had seen them priced at $40 and up at electronics stores.

I am extremely pleased with this product.

It's a digital signal, people. May 12, 2006 By B. Vrooman
As an audio engineer, I understand the importance of good cables. I saw HDMI cables for over a hundred dollars, and I began to wonder why I should truly spend that much.

With other A/V equipment that I've hooked up, the signals have been (mostly) analog. Analog signals are prone to outside interference in a much more obvious way than digital, mainly because most digital signals (including DVI and HDMI) include some sort of error correction and/or signal reconstitution technology.

I spent MUCH less on this particular cable, and I have to say that I'm completely satisfied. The cable is short enough and shielded thickly enough that even my inexpensive TV is able to produce a clean, artifact-free image 100% of the time.

Dont be fooled by Retail Salesmen. Mar 10, 2006 By Daniel G. Carr "a/v geek"
I wish there was some way for me to tell everyone about buying cables online. When I shopped around for cables to hook up my home theatre I was disgusted by the price retail stores such as Tweeter and Fry's were charging for this and other high end A/V cables. Some places had this conversion cable listed for $100. Its should be considered consumer fraud. But this cable works great and My Star Wars Movies never looked better!

WARNING - FOUR ADDITIONAL PINS - FALSE PRODUCT. Jul 13, 2011 By T. Fowle
I emailed Cables, Unlimited about the false advertisement, and received this response:

"We are truly very sorry for any inconvenience that this has caused you. Somehow, the listing for this item was changed. Since there are other companies selling under 1 listing it can be changed at any time by the company that created it. They do not have to notify other sellers of the change. We thank you for bringing it to our attention. We have removed our listing already.
We have issued a full refund back to your account for this order. You will not need to return the cable back to us. If you have any other questions please let us know."

I did indeed receive a full refund, but the listing obviously still exists. Be wary.

*******

Before I start, I want to make it clear I very, very rarely make this sort of exclamation. However, I've never witnessed something as absurd and nonsensical as this.

Here's a quick introduction.
There are a few types of DVI cables/ports, but I'll only focus on the ones specific to my case -- DVI-I (integrated, meaning both analog and digital) and DVI-D (digital).
The difference between these two cables is four little pins by the single long pin on one side. DVI-I has these four pins. DVI-D does not.

This product is advertised as DVI-D, meaning it should NOT have the four pins.

THIS
IS
FALSE.

I purchased this on July 1st, and it came in today. After struggling when it wouldn't slide into the port, I peeked at the port and the connector, and lo and behold, my cable HAD THE FOUR PINS.

I don't understand why companies falsely advertise. It irks me that consumers can be lied to so easily without any regard from the supplier.

This is my first bad review, and it pains me to have to do it. But this terrible menace must be brought to light.

(And yes, I know I'm an idiot for not checking the appropriate type of connection beforehand.)
