I ordered this because I got a new graphics card that had the HDMI ports far apart so I couldn't fit the old adapter next to the cable for my second monitor . When the monitor RECEIVED the signal, the resolution was weird (and the only one available), the quality was terrible, the text was barely legible (not completely blurry, rather not all pixels were drawn) and the colors were VERY wrong. And yes, I tried the old adapter and monitor with my new graphics card and everything was fine with the normal resolution and quality I'm used to. It's definitely a cable.
