PERFECT - Got An Older PC with DVI But A Newer Monitor/TV w/ HDMI or DisplayPort? Get This Cable

I had an older junk PC in my garage that hasn't been in use for years. My kids have started to learn to use a computer at school and my wife said it would probably be a good time to get them their own computer. I started doing research and figured out instead of paying a couple hundred dollars for a new PC, I could just re-purpose this garage one. Luckily around that time, my work was disposing of older PC hardware and in that stash were several 22" monitors. I grabbed one since I had everything else for the kids' PC. Unfortunately to my dismay, the LCD monitor was so new, it only had HDMI & Display Port ports. There was no DVI, no VGA like old school monitors! The PC on the other hand, was so old it only had a DVI video port on it. Now from past experience, I knew you could get dongles that convert from one type to another but I've never liked them. These were back in the day when you had a DVI-to-VGI converter dongle. Dongles in general are clunky and can get bumped occasionally (which could cause damage to your connectors), so after a bit of research, I found that there are actual cables that have the conversions built-in, saving you space! This cable works exactly as advertised and I had no problems getting the video from the old PC to new monitor. Plus it was cheap and the same price as a dongle. So win-win for me and now my kids have a functional PC.

For great quality If you want to connect your computer to your TV and your computer uses a DVI video card. I attach a picture of the different type of DVI's ports, so look carefully at which one you have on your video card and the cable you are buying.

Quality Products at Competitive Prices.

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!

Amazon basics does it again

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!)

Solid Cable for MBP to Monitor Connection

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!

Good quality cable at a very cheap price.

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.

Perfect fix for me!

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.

Use your DVI-D PC with HDMI monitor/TV

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.

Remove that VGA-to-VGA cable, and use this for your computer's HDMI port and connect your DVI-capable monitor.

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!

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!
