Review on πŸ”Œ BENFEI HDMI to DVI-D Adapter, Bi-Directional Converter Male to Female with Gold-Plated Cord - Pack of 2 by David Gibbs

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My stupidity is not the fault of the product!

TL; DR: Does not work with an HDMI cable. I ended up tossing them in a black box with random cables and adapters. Make sure you buy the right ones. Standard HDMI cables have two male ends (DUH!) I needed to connect a PC with DIV outputs to an HDMI switcher. But I didn't think it through. I had a few HDMI cables lying around and ordered these - yes - stupid! If you're using a DVI cable and want to convert one end to HDMI, they will do the trick. But if you need to convert one end of the HDMI cable to DIV, that won't happen! Again: THIS IS NOT A PRODUCT DEFECT! It was all my fault for not thinking it through. but learn from my mistake! The same seller/manufacturer has the entire cable for less than $6 that I ended up buying and it's great. Don't be stupid like me. if you need HDMI DIV and don't have DIV cables. Just buy the right cable to start https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D6RL3VN
