Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Belkin HDMI to DVI-D Cable 8ft CordCustomer Review: Ouch - Pointlessly Dangerous Packaging Summary: 3 Stars
Not quite 8 feet. My cable measured 7 feet, 10 inches. However, it works as it should. I agree with positive comments about the ease of connection - the large nobs made for easy tightening & removing cable at the DVI end (HDMI end simply slides into place). I use it to connect a Playstation 3 to a high-end Sony HDTV that predated HDMI (model KV-34XBR910) and enjoy the high definition picture. NOTE: While HDMI cable transmits the audio signal, sound is NOT transfered through an HDMI-DVI cable - only the high definition picture - so you will also need to buy and connect a digital audio cable for sound.
Why 3 stars? Minus one for 2 inches short. Minus one for the package. I have never encountered a more hazardous plastic shell package. To get the cable out, there is a pre-perforated arc on the backside that you pull out easily enough. However, it leaves multiple sharp points that seriously scrape your skin, so be careful. And you cannot get the cable out through that hole. I tried, and the effort drew blood! I had 3 cuts on my hand afterwards. Look at the picture of the package. The nice display of two connectors in front give a nice view of the product, but don't give room for the connectors to come through the small hole for the cable. You will need to cut through the front of the plastic with a scissors or knife, leaving still more sharp edges. All the prying and pulling was unreasonably difficult. I strongly urge the company to redesign the package for safety, to reduce waste, and to ease unpacking.
