Not much to say about the cable other than 1) it works just fine in connecting two DVI ports, and 2) the construction quality seems to be solid. You can't really ask more of a cable. The picture quality on my monitor is great, but I can't notice any real difference from before. I'll have to assume and hope the materials used helps maintain this quality over time (or at least until I finally can upgrade to HDMI).

As the headline foreshadowed, the cable itself is quite large. This isn't abnormal for DVI cables, as they've always been a bit hefty in size, but it seems this one in particular is larger than average. This is something you'll need to consider in context of your set-up. For me, the section in the back of my monitor where I plug in the cable does not afford much space for larger cables and plugs as featured on this one. It took some time to get the cable plugged and secured, and even then I'm not pleased with the remaining tension left on the cable.

However, if an above-average size of plug and cable aren't an issue for you, then given the overall quality of the product, I recommend it.

This cable is good quality, packaged well and works great. I would order this again.

It's the length advertised, made of acceptable materials and of acceptable quality for the price.

I wouldn't recommend using it with any newer monitors as both HDMI and Displayport are going to give you better, more responsive quality: however for an older monitor, or one that you don't require high-speed refresh or fidelity: this seems to get the job done.

Note: The cord is of typical cord quality so a cat will probably be able to bite through it, given a few minutes. This is a typical concern of mine - but this is not a cord that will stand up to cats for a long time like some of the braided cords available.

This is definitely a great value as you are very likely to pay a LOT more for something like this in a typical store. It does the job and is well made. My only gripes relate to picture quality, the cable I had prior was a VGA with DVI adapter on my graphics card which provided an 'analog' connection. After using this cable, the monitor and graphics card connection changed to digital (which is great as I hadn't taken that into account.)

I have progressive lens eyeglasses and am having a hard time adjusting to the difference in the screen picture when looking at the monitor. I made adjustments through the monitor to make it more comfortable by using pre-calibration due to the change in connection and am continuing to find ways to ease the transition.

I'm rating the cable 5-stars because while its been difficult to adjust to, it would seem to me to be a better picture and is likely a better setting match since I am not having the 'adjustment change' difficulty when trying to focus back on other areas of my room (ie looking away from monitor) To better explain what I mean, think of it like this, you buy a new chair and have to go from sitting posture that was unhealthy to a proper posture in the new chair. You aren't used to it and it takes adjustment, but you can tell its better for you. Now its just a matter to ensure that you set the adjustment to accommodate your particular position.

The 2 connector side screw pins are Rubber-ended so it's hard to get a regular screwdriver in those grooves after finger tightening them.
I just wanted to make sure that i was getting a solid connection with this cable,first time using the DVI-D.
After firing up the pc,monitor was on then it went off,so going through my image on my tv monitor i brought up display properties and that took care of it.
Monitor came on and stayed on i thought i was going to have to tear down the cable and replace it,but it didn't come to that.
I'm using a viewsonic 20" monitor with a short stand for this hookup and those fat transformers are to close to the connection plug that goes into the monitor.
I thought it was just going to take a few minutes to change my VGA to DVI-D instead it took me like 20-25m to do it all because of those rubber ends.
Luckily i had ordered another DVI cable just in case,didn't have to use it.
I have the monitor resolution set at 1600x900 what they recommend and i do notice a little difference using the DVI-D instead of the VGA.
But not to much difference,picture is a little clearer using the DVI-D cable.
I personally would not recommend this especially if you have a short stand monitor and be prepared for the rubber giving way,no support.
