i connected this from a western digital mediaserverbox, with the HDMI output, to a gateway 19" VGA widescreenmonitor.simple. nope, didn't work at all.didn't cost much though.
the color was funny looking. i had dvi to vga and i thought if i used this cable that it would give me even better video. if you have dvi to dvi great. no i didnt it gave me video but poor blurry quality video. the picture didnt even fit on my 19'' sony bravia kdl-19m400. dvi to vga cool. dvi to hdmi dont.
It works as it's supposed to, but barely. The picture occasionally will "glitch" with colored lines although it's barely perceptible. The cable needs to be completely inserted and screwed in tightly into the DVI device to work at all. When I first connected it I thought it was DOA. Obviously not expecting much at this price but you're probably better served ordering something else if it's at all important. Also, the connectors look gold plated but clearly are not.
the vga component died so this piece made up and used one of the 3 hdmi and was happy with it. my computer to the tv. and i was able to watch a movie as soon as possible. picture is 3x better than vga. shipping was slow
Don't pay store prices for cables, you're getting ripped off. This cable works flawlessly, as advertised. Shipped quick, and you can't beat the price. You don't need heavy shielding on an HDMI or DVI cable, or thick gauge wire on short lengths, don't let them fool you. AV experts don't use $100 cables, neither should you.I could make this cable myself, but for this price why bother.
