Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Eforcity HDMI-F to DVI-M Video Adaptor with Gold ContactsCustomer Review: Great Adapter At a Great Price Summary: 5 Stars
Normally I'd just say something to the affect of "it's an adapter, it works" and move along, but there is one thing I'd like to point out.
I'll save you the boring details as to why I bought the adapter, but at one point in all of the connections I was making, I had the following configuration: DVI out on PC > DVI/HDMI adapter > HDMI cable > TV. The video came through perfectly, as expected, but the surprising thing to me was that the audio came through, as well.
After a little research, I discovered that some video card manufacturers (nVidia in my case) have started producing DVI connections that pass audio along as well as video. Maybe that's not news to some people, but it was to me (and a friend who's an IT consultant by trade). Now, there are only a couple of (most likely rare) instances where I can see this ability being necessary, but if you find yourself in one of those situations, this adapter will work for you.
I also have to agree with the people who noted that the screws used to secure the adapter to the PC/monitor aren't the most user-friendly in the world. But considering most people aren't constantly hooking/unhooking their connections, this isn't something I felt warranted docking a star for, especially when you consider this adapter was only $4 shipped (and shipped very quickly by Eforcity).
