First of all I really want to thank the community for answering my questions about this cord before I purchased it! It was really helpful to me! Okay so this cord is exactly what I needed to connect my desktop tower to my Sony smart tv. I plugged the DVI end into my computer and plugged the HDMI into the port on the TV and it worked perfect. The reason I needed this cord was because my computer doesn't have HDMI and the TV only has HDMI. I have been trying out different VGA converter cords before trying the DVi, and none of them had worked at all. So I am very happy that this one finally worked! My computer runs windows 10, which I think is why the VGA cord wasn't working. Perhaps something to do with a driver or something? Now the only thing is that this cord will NOT transfer sound. This is a video cable only. You will have to use either a aux cord directly to your tv or to an external speaker. But this cord does exactly as I was told by the community members as well as the description by the seller.
If you have found my review helpful, especially if you are in the same situation, please let me know.
A fraction of the price of similar cables, this was solidly built, with very solid connectors. Worked perfectly to connect an older monitor with dvi to my laptop with hdmi out. No loss of image quality. If you have a slightly older monitor without an hdmi in, this is for you! I attached a picture of the female side your monitor will needs (it’s the universally brown one, NOT the blue one!)
Exactly what I needed to add a 3rd display to my son's gaming PC. The graphics card on the PC has HDMI, VGA, and DVI outputs. I used this cable to connect my LG HDTV for use as an overhead display.
I have four Acer 22-inch monitors, and the 16:10 aspect ratio (1680x1050 res) never did work well with the VGA ports on any video card I've used. The monitors automatically and correctly pick native resolution whenever data runs through the monitor's DVI port, whether from DVI output from the computer, or via an HDMI-to-DVI or DisplayPort-to-DVI cable.
Besides the OEM video card on my home computer (which supports DVI, HDMI and VGA outputs), I installed a Radeon HD5450 PCIe1x which I also purchased from Amazon (DVI, DisplayPort and VGA outputs). Great card, by the way.
This cable was the answer for my monitor on the far left, now fed by the resident card and its HDMI ouput. I removed the VGA-to-VGA cable, installed this HDMI-to-DVI cable, and back to native resolution and proper color table selection.
The Hong Kong skyline stretching from left to right on my four monitors now looks great!
First off - the scenario: I have a PC with dual DVI-D outputs that I needed to connect to HP E222 monitors, neither of which have DVI-D interfaces. The active DVI to DP option is quite expensive and the VGA option has a little distortion that is barely noticeable but can be a bit bothersome. This cable takes the DVI-D output and converts it to a HDMI signal so you can use any monitor with HDMI input. Note that audio isn't supported, which won't matter on most monitors. These work well for my needs. I'd like to try them in reverse and hook up something like a Raspberry PI to an old LCD monitor to see how/if it works.

Works perfect to connect my 2015 Macbook Pro to an external monitor with a DVI input. Cable feels solidly built, and am happy for the 3ft version so I don't have a ton of excess cable to wrangle on my desk!
Very nice cable. Constructed well, very flexible. I have been using for months at 720P for my older media center PC to TV. I only needed 720P resolution for easy operation at a 12 foot distance to the couch. Set to 720p so I can see icons and such easily. However, during some recent digital picture editing, I set the resolution to 1080 and the cable couldnt seem to handle it. The screen flickered every 5-10 seconds . Was usable, but very annoying. Another DVI to HDMI cable I had worked fine at 1080P. Other people reviewing this cable had no trouble at 1080P, so it is just something in my equipment I guess. I havent tried the cable in reverse, that is HDMI to DVI, will try when I have time and update this review.
UPDATE - Used this for HDMI to DVI at 1680 x 1050 resolution. Worked great. REMINDER, in either mode DVI to HDMI or HDMI to DVI you have to run sound separate from the audio output of your host device. DVI cannot pass sound, regardless of the direction of the video signals. For this cables HDMI to DVI capability it is a steal at this price.
I purchased this cable to hook up my sons Nintendo Switch to one of my extra Flat Panel monitors that had a DVI or RGB connector available. I chose this DVI to HDMI cable to connect the Nintendo up and put it in his bedroom. It is doing the job just fine! The only obstacle is finding a way to hear sound; as this cable does not take care of that...at ALL. I used an headphone to headphone cable that I connected to a spare SoundCube we had around the house and solved that issue. All in all this was a very cheap way to find a way to accomplish this project and being subjected to unintelligible babble from a 10 year old....Thank You Amazon Basics!
Works like a charm with my work Dell to use my 2009 Acer monitor as a second screen for my occasional working from home. I'm not going to lie, Because I plugged it into the monitor and have left it there, I'm pretty sure I purchased the 6 ft cord. After reading some of the other questions and comments, I noticed some questions about audio not working. This is the case for me because I remote into a virtual machine and that's unfortunate but I don't work from home so often that it's a problem. If I was using the actual laptop, I'm sure it would work fine. I haven't tried it, though.
I have some other AmazonBasics products that are at least 3 years old and they are still working, also. Great products!
I have one TV which is not equipped with no DVI input and that TV would not display my computers when I connected them directly to the TV using an HDMI cable, I do not know why and could never figure out why. I bought this cable to use to connect my computers to the HDMI input on my TV. When using this cable, the picture on my TV has clear and the colors were richer. The picture size increased however and the icons on both the left and bottom of the screen were pushed almost clear off the screen, to the point where I could not tell what they were. I could move those on the left side inward on the screen, however, I could not move those on the bottom of the screen. I could not determine why the picture size was increased or a way to decrease the size. In order to reduce the picture size and make the icons visible again, I went back to using the DVI input to HDMI output adaptor which I had previously used between my computer and TV.
I have tried this adaptor cable on all my computers, using both of my TV's with the same results, a clearer picture, and richer colors but the icons pushed almost completely off the screen. If I could figure out how to reduce the size a bit or bring the bottom icons back fully on the screen, I would definitely use this cable to connect my computers to my TV's.
