Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Cables Unlimited PCM-2296-06 HDMI to DVI D Cable, 6 feet
Customer Review: It's a digital signal, people.
Summary: 5 Stars
As an audio engineer, I understand the importance of good cables. I saw HDMI cables for over a hundred dollars, and I began to wonder why I should truly spend that much.
With other A/V equipment that I've hooked up, the signals have been (mostly) analog. Analog signals are prone to outside interference in a much more obvious way than digital, mainly because most digital signals (including DVI and HDMI) include some sort of error correction and/or signal reconstitution technology.
I spent MUCH less on this particular cable, and I have to say that I'm completely satisfied. The cable is short enough and shielded thickly enough that even my inexpensive TV is able to produce a clean, artifact-free image 100% of the time.
Customer Review: Excellent price for a great cable
Summary: 5 Stars
When I purchased this item, I hesitated just a little since the price was so low. I needn't have worried. The cable is quite robust - flexible but substantial. The ferrite core may be somewhat unnecessary as I wouldn't anticipate too much interference with the digital signal, but I won't complain about this extra. It works flawlessly when connecting my PC or MacBook (both have a DVI-D output) to my HDMI port of my rear-projection TV. The picture is, of course, excellent, although there is some overscan due to my television's settings. This is hardly an issue for what I use it for - watching streaming movies on the big screen using my PC or using the TV as a second monitor for my MacBook.Customer Review: great cable, great price

I am glad I did not buy the expensive Monster Cable, it would have been a waste of money. The only surprise was when I hooked it up to my cable box and the back of my tv, I got a picture, but no sound, called Cablevision, they could not figure it out, so I went to a cable forum on the internet and there was the answer, you still need the audio (RCA cables-red and white) for the audio. The cable is HDMI to DVI, for this you need the other cables described above. If both are HDMI, then the audio is is through the cable and you do not need the separate audio cables. But I was able to eliminate some cables. Not sure the picture is better than component, looks about the same.Customer Review: Perfect for iMac--HDTV connection
Summary: 5 Stars
I hook up my iMac (and MacBook sometimes) to my Vizio HDTV with this cable (with the addition of another, Apple-made cable). It works perfectly: I get freaking 1080p quality picture on my TV!! Among a million other things, watching Hulu and DVDs is extremely pleasurable.
This product is a fabulous, cheap buy and highly recommended. OH, and if you ARE trying to hook your Mac up to your TV, make sure you buy the appropriate Apple cable as well! (And an audio cable too, I bought this one: Belkin Audio Y Cable Splitter 1-Mini Plug/2-RCA Plugs (6ft) )
Customer Review: No need to go broke!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased a new HD tv. I signed up with my cable company for HD service & received a new box. They provided me with component cables. I found out that my cable company doesn't provide HD boxes with HDMI except for the DVR. It did have DVI though. After looking around, and reading that these $50 and higher HDMI cables weren't any better then the cheaper ones, I decided to order this cable. I hooked it up today & wow! The difference between the component & now was unbelievable. The picture on the HD channels is amazing! So glad I did not go broke buying one of those over priced cables! Only took a minute to hook up & the length was perfect.
