Digital camera reviews of Cables To Go 40320 Velocity HDMI to DVI-D Digital Video Cable (2 Meter/6.5 Feet)
Digital camera Review: No need to pay more, and no problems connecting to an HDTV
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this cable to connect my old xp machine to my hdtv to use as a media center. The product does exactly what it is meant to do, without any problems whatsoever. I don't know if I would trust anything cheaper than this (I've had a few bad experiences in the past), but I would definitely not pay a penny more.
The audio can be tricky, since this doesn't actually pass any audio to your TV. Most hdtv's (including my Panasonic plasma) allow you to connect your audio to ANY audio jack in the TV, and then go through the settings to "pair" that audio jack with the hdmi input. Just check the manual or do a search online for it.
As for resolution, I had to set my machine (with a very old video card) to a lower resolution. Just play around with different resolutions until you find one that fits nicely. Mine has a thin black bar going around the screen, since an actual 720p resolution was somehow too large. However, the black bar is no problem for us, and I don't even notice it most of the time. Nothing is cut off unless you pick a resolution that is too high for the TV.
Digital camera Review: No problems

This converter cable was exactly what I needed to connect my new HD DVD player to my older Sony HD TV. Worked perfectly (note that since DVI lacks the audio signal, a seperate audio connection is also required).Digital camera Review: No problems at all!

This cable was dirt-cheap and did exactly what I wanted it to do: connect my MacBook Pro to my TV. Couldn't be happier with the price or the quality.Digital camera Review: Not for PC's or laptops
Summary: 4 Stars
Believe the other review about PC's or laptops. The cable might work fine for other home electronics outputting the correct resolutions but even with Windows Vista I couldn't get this to spit out the correct resolution. My video card should be more than capable of outputting a 720p compatible resolution but the cable/hardware recognition won't let me select the 1368x720 resolution.Digital camera Review: Perfect cable for my flat screen TV
