1 Star Did not work!!
Bought this cable thinking I got a bargain on a cheap dvi to hdmi cable for my macbook pro and panasonic lcd hdtv but it didn’t work. Tried it on all the hdmi ports and got nothing. My macbook’s screen kept flashing blue as if it was trying to connect to an external monitor but no picture was showing up on my tv. I’ve read others with macs saying the cable worked and others said it didn’t. Guess I was one of the unlucky ones.

5 Stars It does it’s Job
Plain and simple, hooked up my computer up to the big LG lcd tv. Simple and it worked. Had to of course adjust the settings on the card and the zoom aspect settings on the tv but that is to be expected with this type of connection. Quick delivery and great price. Picture looks great, vibrant colors, makes it all sorts of fun to watch movies off the computer. So if you need this cable this one does the job.

and eforcity is also a good thing, They’ve never let me down in anyway, they rock!

5 Stars Outstanding performance and cheap!
What can i say, I bought one of these cables several months ago to hook up my DVI laptop to my tv HDMI input. I liked it so much, I purchased a second one for my other television. It works exactly as you expect. Construction quality is great, picture quality is great. I don’t think the higher priced ones will do any better (though I have not tried). I liked this cable enough to come back and leave some positive feedback so others can benefit.

1 Star Don’t get for Macs
I got this to connect my MacBook Pro to an HDTV, to no avail. When I connected it, the screen would flash blue once then refuse to detect the external display. I took the setup in to an Apple Store, where switching computers had the same effect. We then switched to their $26 Belkin DVI to HDMI cable and had everything work perfectly.

Yeah, it’s only a few dollars on Amazon with shipping, but it’s not worth even that for Mac users – this seems to be a frequent problem.

4 Stars Works as advertised
Works well, gives a line at the top of the screen sometimes. It may just be crappy cable box though.
