Quality-wise the cables are as good as any I've seen from major suppliers. I bought two of them to gain the advantage of a digital connection between my PC and LCD monitors rather than use the analog cables supplied by the vendor. Note: if you are using these as I did, you may have to do some fiddling around with settings on both your monitor and your PC (i.e., display problems likely have nothing to do with cables). Delivery was on schedule (actually a day early) to my doorstep by US mail. I'm using XP and that was easy enough using "display settings" (plus some tweaking via nVidia's software), but to get the monitor to give up on analog mode and reset itself for digital I had to actually pull the plug on the monitor so the monitor's "plug and play" would do the reset. Monitors generally only require single link, but dual link works just as well; the extra wiring for the dual link capability just goes unused but for this price, who cares. Like others, the very low price for this cable made me suspicious, but it is exactly what it purports to be, a DVI-D digital dual link cable.
I bought this cable and it arrived in a couple days. I use it for games and HDTV from Media Center. I have a nice video card on my computer and recently got a new monitor. The one store I found that did was wanting $75 for this exact same cable. As far as video quality goes it is very good. This cable is a good buy.
Well, if you're looking for a DVI cable yourself, let me assure you, there is no need to pay that much. I was surprised by how thick the cable was. It feels like a very solid cable. Since I had the option I'd figure I'd step up to a DVI connection and was shocked when I found that very few retail stores sell them. I'm glad I bought one.
Replaced a DVI to VGA adapter with with this cable and the monitor has less ghosting. Great product for the price.
Bottom Line: It doesn't get any cheaper than this, and the cable works fine. My main monitor is now set up using the cable and my second monitor is using an analog cable with a DVI converter. You have to really look to see the quality difference (the monitors aren't identical, so it isn't a 100% fair comparison). I tried looking around at regular stores to find this type of cable, but they aren't widely available and if you do find one it'll probably be at least $20. I wanted to use a second LCD monitor on my desktop and my graphics card has 2 DVI outputs. If any issues arise, I will revise my review (Just set it up today). I don't know if it's worth upgrading the analog cable you already have, but if you need a second cable, it's definitely worth the money.
2) I had to shave off a quarter inch of plastic off both of the cables so I could plug them both into my graphics card. 1) The cables came labeled as HDMI instead of DVI on the packaging, which I don't understand. Besides that, they work great, and I'm happy with the purchase. Giving this four instead of 5 for two reasons:. The cables are nice and thick, and don't feel nearly as cheap as I expected.
