HDMI to DVI for Quality Video Transmission
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the only industry-standard interface for transmitting uncompressed digital data. HDMI cables are intended for use with a wide range of everyday electronic components, such as computers and a home theatre system's screen. HDMI provides video, especially at high resolutions, and renders small high-contrast details, such as text, in high quality. DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a video-interface standard that provides quality transmissions on digital display devices such as flat-panel LCD computer displays and digital projectors. Audio will need to be transmitted through a separate audio cable or through a fibre-optic (Toslink) cable as the DVI connector of this cable is not fitted for audio capability.
For Use with Computers, Blu-Ray Players and Game Consoles
This cable offers optimal support for resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 and is intended to connect computers and other source components with HDMI outputs - such as Blu-Ray players or Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 game consoles - to DVI-equipped televisions or monitors.
Turn Your Computer into a Home-Theatre Centre
The AmazonBasics HDMI to DVI Adaptor Cable is intended to connect computers with DVI connections- such as home-theatre PCs, Mac minis and some laptops - to an HDMI-equipped HDTV, projector or other display device.
For office professionals, you can use this cable to create quality presentations using your projector. For home users, the cable will help you turn your computer into a virtual home-entertainment centre, so you can watch all your computer-based media on your home-theatre screen.
Gold-Plated Connectors for Superior Conductivity
This AmazonBasics cable has shielding, a durable PVC outer layer, gold-plated HDMI A Male to DVI 24+1 Male connectors that resist corrosion, whilst offering optimum signal transfer. You can view a cross-section diagram here. To ensure compatibility, it's best to check your component product manuals to determine what kind of connections your components require.

If you're getting bad image quality, DO NOT blame this cable. HDMI is digital, the cable can't make a picture "fuzzy" or "blurred", it just doesn't happen, it will be your equipment.
The quality of this cable is fine. It's not very heavy duty, and so wouldn't hold a lot oweight or survive a lotof pulling, but then we're not buying tow-cables, right? It transfers my PC image to another device completely perfectly, and vice-versa.
Be warned however - yes, HDMI and DVI use the same signalling, but HDMI only has a small set of resolutions that work, and some computer monitors insist on a set resolution on their DVI input. This means if you setup your HDMI output device (say a DVD or BluRay player) and hook it up to your PC monitor's DVI input, you may find that the DVD player can't output at a compatible resolution. When this happens, you either get no picture, or you get a resized picture that will look out of focus or distorted. Also be aware that HDMI colour profiles are different to computer colour profiles, so you may find the image is washed out. If this happens you need to adjust the black point and white point on the monitor, as well as brightness/contrast and colour - without all these controls, forget it, and just buy an LCD TV instead.
As for the other way around, DVI to HDMI, again you may experience issues, but these are not the cable. In my case, my PC needed to have a custom mode created at a resolution that suited my TV. Result, I can now play my PC games on my large 32" TV... but the quality is not as good as the VGA input. The reason for this is simple - the TV VGA input can be set to 1360x768, the exact resolution of the screen... but the HDMI input has to be 720p or 1080i, or 1080p, none of which match up exactly with the pixels on the TV, and the result is a scaled, and so slightly blurred, image. However, VGA cables are far thicker and not as easy to handle.
Conclusion - brilliant cable, but check your equipment's compatibility before you buy.

Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
It is quite a relief to discover that Amazon can supply the `haberdashery' of electronics as well as major kit because I usually end up on a trek to a specialist shop. It was also pleasing to note that the Basics range has a premium feel (robust branded glove to the connectors, gold finish on the metal and black cable). True, it is only a cable but attention to detail gives reassurance about underlying quality.
On which note, yes it works fine in connecting the HDMI out on my PC (which has only one DVI out) to a second DVI monitor. If you are considering adding a second monitor to your PC, a week in to discovering the pleasure of having a two monitor set up it is difficult to imagine how I managed before. Amazon seem to have most of the permutations of cable needed if you find as I did that you are short of a connection.

Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
The three title words pretty much sum this wire up. It is cheaper than most others available, provides a quality crisp image through my monitor (from Graphics Card) and is the perfect length for it to not be too long. The nice thing about this cable is that it isnt a flimsy object either - its thick and feels durable.
Even better - the amazon stickers are pretty good looking!
Not much else to say, except I think I have mastered the frustration free packaging now! (second time lucky).

Laptop display on TV via HDMI
This did the job, but video only. A 3.5mm audio jack cable was also needed to get sound. Visual quality perfectly acceptable.

A well made Amazon product that looks like it will last. Unfortunately I selected the wrong item and so will keep it with my spare cables as it might come in one day.
