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.

1 Star Don’t get ripped off
I normally don’t write reviews, but I’m doing this one mainly because I want to lower the 3.5 star (average) that it currently has, so then maybe one chap won’t get ripped off. It does the same thing as cheap cables, at 60x the price. The ugly copper/white/black color design is not worth the $197 premium that you’re paying. Actually, I’d rather get regular black colored HDMI cable, even if both were priced the same.

5 Stars Item Never Received

Do not use this seller. The item was never received.

No communication from seller about why not, what problem there is, etc.

My only bad experience on Amazon ever.

1 Star 200 what!!!
It does the same thing as the cheap brand that does the same thing. U are basically buying a brand name and their extravagant advertising. Does it come with real gold or real piece diamond then i’m sure a few buyers would like them. Or if you feel paying more makes u feel it does wonders, just get the ones that cost 30 to 40 dollars from any brand. I’m sure that will make buyers feel monstrous. And if you want bestbuy to stay alive (prevent from bankrupcy) like i do so we can do physical inspection at the store before i buy online, than go all out buy this 200 monster cable.

5 Stars Amazing!!!
Awesome picture and awesome sound that come out of this cord. I use it on my PS3 and when watching the games on the big screen.

1 Star Didn’t work
Cable is defective. Need to see if company that I purchased it from will make it good, or have to go through hassle of getting Monster Cable to honor its warranty. Alot of cash for a non-working cable.

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.

5 Stars understand that HDMI = input and VGA = output
People seem to be buying this item expecting it to be VGA to HDMI, or bi-directional. This was made to send the video from your HDMI source, to your VGA display. If you’re trying to convert a VGA signal to an HDMI signal, you need to convert and get a proper cable.. much more expensive. ..but stop marking this thing poorly because you don’t know what you’re buying. It’s not a bad product, it’s just getting bad reviews from people who can’t do research or for that matter, read.

1 Star This does not work.
I bought this cable to connect my new Dell Mini 1010, which only has HDMI out, to older projectors with only RGB/VGA/component/S-video in. It does not work. I attempted to get a signal through my RBG/VGA-in on both my Sony Bravia HDTV and older projector but found no success. (Note: the Mini did display on the HDTV when going HDMI out to HDMI in, using a different cable).

1 Star Garbage!!!!!

I love buying an item that does not work. Even after reading reviews about what it’s used for it still doesn’t work with ANYTHING!!! It’s like somebody came up with an idea to create an improbable wire that people want but will never actually work and RIP people off!!!!!!!

1 Star GARBAGE !!!! USELESS CORD!!!! DO NOT BUY!!!!
I bought this piece of garbage and I just happened to miss the fine print about how it wont work with computers … Great!!! the only reason I bought it lol… now it is not even worth sending it back for a return as I will probably only get maybe 10 dollars back lol.. what a waste!! DO NOT BUY THIS CORD!!!!!

1 Star This cable don’t support signal from VCR, COMPUTER or LAPTOP output.
I returned this cable got my money back but paid around $10 in shipping! …

This is a rip off …

Does not work.

This is what the seller emailed me …

NOTE: this cable don’t support signal from VCR, COMPUTER or LAPTOP output.
