Review on πŸ”Œ 6-Foot CL3-Rated Bi-Directional HDMI to DVI Cable by Cable Matters (DVI to HDMI) by Robert Hines

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great cable for absentminded professors ordering a monitor without asking if their computer supports it

I made the mistake of ordering a 4K monitor before figuring out if it would work with my current ones computers could use. Imagine my surprise when I realized I had a paperweight on my desk temporarily. Luckily, my computer had a DVI connector, so I could use this cable to send a 1K signal (1920 x 1080 resolution) to my 4K monitor. If I later buy a computer with the right graphics card, I'll get the full resolution. This is a bi-directional cable. It's not just HDMI-DVI, but the way I use it is DVI-HDMI. If you have two devices that cannot communicate, one with a DVI connector and the other with an HDMI connector, then this cable is PERFECT. So you can use them to make them work together seamlessly.

Pros
  • Computer cable adapter
Cons
  • For retirees
