Doesn't work with my system

I tried this with only one monitor connected, but my monitor complains that "the current input timing is not supported by the monitor" when this DVI splitter is placed between the graphics card and my DVI cable. When my DVI cable is plugged directly into the graphics card, it works great. I have to assume that the splitter should be invisible to the computer and monitor when only one monitor is connected, so there must be a manufacturing defect with this splitter. System Information: Graphicsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • The Belkin DVI Splitter Cable lets you connect two DVI displays or projectors to a single DVI digital video output on your computer.
Cons
  • Some minor issues

But it doesn't work perfectly.

This splits my single DVI signal to two monitors with the same resolution (and desktops as advertised) but. 1) When I turn off one monitor, the computer recognizes this and turns off the other monitor. So I have to leave both monitors on. I can prevent this by unplugging a monitor _before_ I turn it off (which makes it almost pointless for me to buy one). BUT.2) If the 2nd monitor is not connected to the splitter, I get horizontal interference on the work monitor. Several per second, more withโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Connector: 2 x 29-pin DVI combo - female; Connector(s) (other side): 1 x 29 pin DVI combo - male
Cons
  • Expensive

I had high hopes for this item, but it wasn't to be.

I had high hopes for this product but was disappointed. My computer is connected to a widescreen TV with a DVI to HDMI cable. However, when I sit at least 10-12 feet away, it becomes very difficult to read the small text and keep everything in a viewport in many programs. So I figured I could buy this cable, plug it into my graphics card, connect one side to the TV and the other side to the computer monitor that I can put on the table in front of me. This way I can just turn on the monitorโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Works with any monitor, projector or TV with similar connections
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
