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.

4 Stars A must have if you want to connect your computer to HDTV
A DVI to HDMI connector is a must have if you want to connect your computer to your HDTV. This helps a great deal to play the movies you download from Netflix or Blockbuster. No need for an extra upscaling DVD player if you got this. Windows Media center upscales your DVD movies automatically to HD quality. I got this long wire so that I can connect my computer and HDTV which are in different rooms. A great buy. You would need a 3.5mm male audio connector as well to connect your speakers to the TV.

1 Star May be a good cable, don’t buy from eforcity
I ordered this cable, the order was accepted and then, apparently, eforcity decided to raise the price $5 and cancel orders at a lower rate. They seem to be a shady operation so I would at least advise using a different vendor.

5 Stars Great!
Bought this cable to connect my laptop and desktop computers to my HDTV for gaming and movies. It works perfectly, no problems at all. It is a very solid cable with great connections. There is really no need to pay any more for this type of cable, just buy this one!!!

5 Stars Quality product, cheaper price
I am using this cable to connect my Desktop (DVI-D output) to LCD TV.

Working fine without any issues.

Prompt delivery.

Will recommend.

5 Stars This is great!
Use to connect my PC to my plasma. Picture is great. Now I can watch hulu on my plasma! The cable is good quality. I would buy this product again and recommend to a friend. I have an Nvidia video card so I use its NVIEW to select my plasma, the Nvidia lets me set the output for the correct resolution for my TV.
