Customer Review: Quality at a reasonable price
Summary: 4 Stars
There's some debate about the quality of HDMI cables; whether it matters if you buy a cheap cable or expensive one, as "it's all just 0's and 1's man!" From what little I've read on the matter, even though it is all digital, there can be errors in the transmission of data from one device to another through digital cables. This happens all the time and there's an acceptable amount of this that can occur before there's a breakdown and you see degradation of the image on your TV. One can reason that the quality of construction of your cable(shielding, wires, etc) will affect the amount of errors that occur. With this knowledge you can justify paying large amounts of cash for high quality cables if you must. The reality is, it won't make a huge difference for general uses.
The AmazonBasics HDMI to DVI Adapter Cable is exactly all it claims to be. A basic quality cable. I'm enjoying it's quality at this very moment, in fact. After the fact of having the proper cable for the proper application(there are differing qualities and standards of HDMI cable), there's not much more you can expect, other than it'd work. Do your research and buy the RIGHT cable.
What amazon doesn't make a huge deal about is that their cables are an amazing deal. After using this cable, I'm very confident I'll never buy my cables in a retail store again unless there's some sort of emergency. Seriously eff you Best Buy and to a much lesser extent Radio Shack with your less flashy looking products but infinitely more helpful personnel!

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the only industry-standard interface for transmitting uncompressed digital data. HDMI cables are intended for use with a wide range of everyday electronic components, such as computers and a home theater system?s screen. HDMI provides video, especially at high resolutions, and renders small, high-contrast details, such as text, in high quality. DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a video-interface standard that provides quality transmissions on digital display devices such as flat-panel LCD computer displays and digital projectors. Audio will need to be transmitted through a separate audio cable(s) or through a fiber-optic (Toslink) cable as the DVI connector of this cable is not fitted for audio capability.
