I have ordered from this company several time and always happy with the quality and price/delivery.
Not sure if this is true, but it seemed that the picture on the Sony TV was actually better than the original video tape. It looked and sounded as if the video had been taken yesterday. I connected my computer to the TV using the HDMI to DVI cable and the sound cable, inserted a DVD into the computer, and was very pleased with the result.
I have a Sony 42 inch LCD digital TV which provides four HDMI input locations. This cable is available from Radio Shack at about $5. From what I recall of earlier reviews, there was concern that sound could not be heard without outside speakers linked to the computer.
I have copied old video that I made during the mid-1980's onto DVDs, and wanted to see and hear it on the big screen. I am expecting that this will work with movie DVDs as well. One of those locations also provides a place to connect a cable for stereo sound inputs.
To do that, all I had to do was to buy a cable with a mini-jack at one end to insert in the computer's earphone jack, and with two RCA jacks at the other end to plug into the TV.
Only problem is that DVI does not cary the audio as it would have had I had an HDMI output on my computer. Works great. I have a new computer with DVI video output which I wanted to connect to my larger HDTV LCD screen. I needed this adapter cable (plus an extension HDMI cable) to make the connection.
Don't buy expensive digital cables, ever. These companies couldn't simply have their market collapse though, so they still sell these overpriced cables to suckers.You're reading this review, so you're not a sucker. You either have one or you don't, and the cable quality simply controls the maximum length.
Some start around $40, and I've seen them north of $150 for Monster Cables. Companies made a fortune charging idiots who didn't know any better for these high end cables.Now, we have digital audio and video, like HDMI. HDMI cables at retail go for stupid insane prices.
One of the neat things about digital is that the signal doesn't degrade. This one works perfectly well connecting my computer to my Vizio TV, and quality is perfect. Total rip off.
See, back in the days when audio/video was still handled over analog cable, you could (arguably) get much better quality by using high end super-cables with stuff like gold plating.
Great value for the price and with Prime got super fast delivery. Does exactly what I needed, to connect my Apple TV to an LCD monitor that only has VGA and DVI connections. Picture is perfect, but as others have noted, you'll need to run separate audio as DVI only carries video.
