The cable is thick and heavily insulated and the connectors are plated in super conductive gold mylar foil that decrease latency. DVI is amazing, its pretty much the same as HDMI but the cable itself is far better than I ever imagined. A great buy and just about as good a DVI cable you can get. This is my first DVI cable because HDMI had been out by the time I really got into computers. Just a week ago I upgraded the monitor on my old time tested desktop that had been connected through VGA the whole time and I discovered both my old computer and oddly enough my brand new monitor both had Dual Link DVI ports.
Shipping and the hassle just might not be worth the couple of bucks you save from ordering here. I tried everything else (I bought a new adapter, tried different image resolutions and refresh rates) before I just sucked it up and bought a brand name cable at Best Buy. It now works perfectly.Perhaps other customers have different output strengths (video cards in PC's) or just different monitors, but I would check the price difference between this and your brand name DVI cable at your local BB before taking the risk. I rarely write reviews on Amazon, but I had to let other Amazon customers know about the poor quality of this DVI cable. If I were to have done it again, I would've just spent the extra bucks and got it at a local store. Somehow, this Eforcity cable just NEVER worked. I own a macbook pro and use the mini-display port adapter to connect my macbook pro to my 22" LCD monitor. It produced static, poor images, and sometimes lost connection completely.
This is often frequent enough that the display is downright unusable.I suspect that this is because of insufficient shielding or bad cable design, rather than a single defective cable, since there are other reviews similar to mine.At least in my case, you get what you pay for. More problematic, the monitor often loses sync and blacks out for a second or so. Not recommended. This cable only works for me at low resolutions, up to 1024x768. At higher resolutions, especially 1920x1200 (the native resolution of my display), it produces flickering green pixels and other artifacts.
Not quite so. I am using a 22" 1680 x 1050 monitor and thought digital connection will give me better video. Good cable. Took a lot of careful comparison to see the improvement over analog cable.
it is being used in a permanent install, so i cannot attest to how well it stands up to wear and tear, but for my purposes, the price, and product, was right. this was not the case at all. this cable seems to be very sturdy, and built well. it's very affordable, so i wouldn't have been surprised to get a cheaply built cable.
