High Performance Connection Between HDMI and DVI Components / Cables Makes Hookup Easy! HDMI, the hottest high-definition digital audio/video standard, is compatible with all digital video connection, DVI. So, if you've got DVI components (like DVD player, Cable box, HDTV tuner with DVI outputs) in your system and buy a new HDMI-capable component (like Plasma TV or projector), compatibility is guaranteed.

HDMI cable converter

I purchased this converter so that I can hook up my desktop to my 47' Philips HDTV. It worked perfectly. I plugged it in and turned on my computer and that was it. I would however have you verify that this is the product you actually need. Some computers may not actually have a DVI output but rather a VGA output. Make sure you are purchasing the right converter base on your computers capabilities.

Works great and cheap

There really isnt much to say about this product, it does what its supposed to do and at a great price. I got it a few days after ordering it, pulled it out its box, then removed it from its plastic bag and attached it to a hdmi cable. I hooked it up to my video card and then to my tv and it worked perfectly. Great product at an awesome price

I got this "Eforcity HDMI-F to DVI-M Video Adaptor with Gold Contacts" to connect a Lenovo X301 laptop to a Dell 20" LCD monitor set to 1680x1050 at 32 bit, 60Hz via a "Premium Black DisplayPort Male to HDMI Female Adapter" from BargainCell and all works well. The picture quality is very good with no visible noise or signal degradation. RF shielding is also good. I have near by numerous RF transmitting devices of varying frequencies and power levels, and see no changes or drops in video quality during transmission. The HDMI video cable fits on to the HDMI port on the adaptor with ease. The DVI side of the adaptor uses the standard connector screws to secure the cable to the DVI port on the monitor. For the price, and assuming consistent manufacturing quality, I recommend this video cable adaptor. Item was promptly shipped by Eforcity.

Great Adapter At a Great Price

Reviewer: chill_dog,

Normally I'd just say something to the affect of "it's an adapter, it works" and move along, but there is one thing I'd like to point out. I'll save you the boring details as to why I bought the adapter, but at one point in all of the connections I was making, I had the following configuration: DVI out on PC > DVI/HDMI adapter > HDMI cable > TV. The video came through perfectly, as expected, but the surprising thing to me was that the audio came through, as well. After a little research, I discovered that some video card manufacturers (nVidia in my case) have started producing DVI connections that pass audio along as well as video. Maybe that's not news to some people, but it was to me (and a friend who's an IT consultant by trade). Now, there are only a couple of (most likely rare) instances where I can see this ability being necessary, but if you find yourself in one of those situations, this adapter will work for you. I also have to agree with the people who noted that the screws used to secure the adapter to the PC/monitor aren't the most user-friendly in the world. But considering most people aren't constantly hooking/unhooking their connections, this isn't something I felt warranted docking a star for, especially when you consider this adapter was only $4 shipped (and shipped very quickly by Eforcity).

Don't go to the store

I had been tired of playing my PS3 through analogue cables had an HDMI cable laying around but wasn't able to use it on my monitor because it was DVI only. I looked online at a few big electronic stores and they were charging anywhere from fifteen to thirty dollars- I really didn't want to spend that much. Hopped on here, saw the price and was highly suspicious at first, but after reading some reviews, I figured I could gamble the $.45 and S&H on it. I'm not disappointed. The adapter is not really low-profile, but more so than a lot of the others I have seen. It works flawlessly and I have noted no problems with it. You really can't go wrong with this. I gave it five starts because there's nothing wrong with it. Yes, it does get a little claustrophobic around the back of my monitor, but that's not a fault of the products. I'd recommend this adapter to my own mother. Assuming she knows such a thing even exists and has a need for it...
