This review is from: AmazonBasics HDMI to DVI Adapter Cable (9.8 Feet/3.0 Meters) (Electronics)
Many Windows based notebooks are now equipped with VGA & HDMI ports, but no DVI port. Many external monitors are equipped with VGA & DVI ports, but no HDMI port. While the analog VGA connection works, a digital connection works better. As it happens DVI is simply a subset of the HDMI standard.
This cable works great for making digital connections from a notebook with a HDMI port to an external monitor with a DVI port.

This review is from: AmazonBasics HDMI to DVI Adapter Cable (9.8 Feet/3.0 Meters) (Electronics)
I use this cord to attach a Blu Ray player to my 6 year old Toshiba projection TV (720p) which does not have HDMI ports. The picture is very good and the length of the cord allows me to run it through the top of the etertainment center, down the back, and then into the TV.
Pricing these from other big box stores found this to be about 1/3 of the price. Those store will tell you that their product is better, lasts longer, not as much heat, blah, blah. Well… 1) I see no difference in picture quality between this and more expensive brand names. 2) Heat? Off an HDMI>DVI cable. Ummmm, I have no idea what the Best Buy guy was talking about. 3) I can buy this one 3 times and still spend less money.
This is the best bet all around

I use to connect my PC to the TV and the length is excellent, the field is strong, however, should suggest buying “Belkin Audio Y Cable Splitter 1-Mini Plug/2-RCA Plugs (6ft)” with this, because DVI does not transmit sound only video, but in general is just what the doctor recommended me
