Digital camera reviews of Eforcity Black 6 FT / 2 Meter DVI-D M/M Digital /Digital Dual Link Cable for ...
Digital camera Review: Best DVI cable for the money
Summary: 5 Stars
Works perfectly at 1080p. Best quality picture than standard VGA cable. You will not find a better deal on a DVI cable.Digital camera Review: Cheap and functional DVI cable
Summary: 5 Stars
Cable is thick--I like this because it gives me confidence that it won't break accidentally. I get excellent color and sharpness at 1920x1080 on my 24" monitor--it's definitely a noticeable improvement over VGA at the same resolution, even if all I can say is that the image just looks clearer. From what I can tell, it's fastened sturdily onto both my PC and the monitor. Also, the cable I received is verifiably dual-link, as advertised.
In response to some of the negative reviews:
First off, I'll note that I am using the DVI out on an nVidia GTX 460 and the DVI in on a 1080p HD monitor. Barring a faulty cable, direct connections like this seem to work beautifully.
Regarding coupling it with a DisplayPort adapter for Macbooks, you're best off looking elsewhere--there are plenty of cables around this price range, and surely one of them will function well with the adapter. Whether or not this is an issue with the cable or the adapter, however, seems up in the air, as DisplayPort and DVI are extremely different in how they operate, and aren't compatible the same way HDMI and DVI are.
Additionally, from what I can see, reviews identifying artifact issues (flicker, color artifacts, etc.) at higher resolutions don't seem to address that it could be a driver issue. I have experienced this myself with my laptop (nVidia 8200M) at 1920x1080 over VGA, and it was provably a driver problem, so it seems perfectly plausible that similar issues with DVI exist.
All in all, if you're planning to use this on a PC, it looks like you'll be golden so long as you have native DVI ports (or, I'll hazard to say, an HDMI adapter since the two are compatible electrically) and up-to-date drivers.

Summary: 3 Stars
This product is well built and was shipped on a timely basis. The low price was fantastic. But it did not work in my two year old Samsung monitor. I have newer Samsung monitor that I purchased this year, and it works fine on it so I'm satisfied. But buyers need to beware that this cable may not work on all monitors that have a DVI port.
