No problems. Don't listen to the Debbie Downers. works great. (wah wahhh)Does exactly what it is supposed to do.
It works fine, plugged it into the second spot on the video card, plugged in the hdmi cable, set up the TV as a second monitor and the signal is clean and bright.
I was initially worried that the extra force might cause some damage, but so far everything appears to be fine.For the price, this adapter is an amazing deal. Also, the physical connections on both the male DVI and female HDMI sides are very tight; I have to give an abnormal extra amount of force to join the adapter to my computer and my HDMI cable. This is a good DVI-to-HDMI converter that I'm currently using to connect a MacBook to a 720p HDTV through another adapter (mini-DVI-to-DVI). This adaptor suits that purpose well and displays the image as expected.I was a bit concerned to see that one of the pins on the male DVI side was shorter than the others, but so far that doesn't seem to have caused any problems with the signal. Although it doesn't seem to have been manufactured entirely correctly, this adapter does perform as expected and provides a great digital video signal.
I guess I'm happy with the service, but it took a long time to get it. My computer dvi looks great through the hdmi cable in 1080p. I bought this converter once, e-mailed three times to tell them I hadn't received it, but after three weeks they sent another one. No complaints, just wish it had come sooner.
I tried with and without it and got much better results without to be fair. So I initially purchased a HDFury (which rocks) and only had a monster 8ft hdmi available so I thought I'd try this. That said my tests were not 100% conclusive but with what I had it did seem to point to the adapter.
In most cases it works great, however during quick action shots (sports + action films) I see the stuttering of pixels. What I didn't do is test on a shorter than 16ft hdmi cable. I bought this mainly because of the cost and because I had a HDMI cable and not a HDMI-DVI cable in my stash.
I have an old plasma that doesn't have HDMI but is cable of providing 1080p via the VGA port. I thought that I'd try this before I went the other option. I have probably quite a unique use of it.
I did read a few places that these adapters can act as a speed bump.I'm sure I'll use it somewhere but for now the jury is out hence the 3/5.
