Customer Review: Works for low bandwith signals
Summary: 2 Stars
I had used this DVI splitter for an LCD Monitor and a Plasma TV. The Monitor was a straight DVI while the Plasma was a DVI-HDMI cable. Both cables were dual-link. In 1920x1080 mode, both screens looked fine so long as I wasn't doing anything too complicated or I was playing simple low-def videos.
The moment I tried to play something in 720p or 1080p, the video would flicker horribly on the TV. It would often lose and reconnect signal; very annoying. Also, even with low-res video, there would often been green lines appearing.
On top of all that, the LCD monitor always had to be on. If I turned it off, the TV would lose signal, no matter which device I plugged into the top connector or which device I turned on first! Also while the computer was booting, all the console text looked really garbed and unreadable on the Plasma screen.
Overall, this is pretty worthless unless you're doing something really simple at a low resolution (1024x768 maybe?) But it's really not more than what I'd expect out of a non-powered splitter.
Customer Review: Mostly works
Summary: 4 Stars
1. Depending on what you're doing, you may have some problems with green dots being randomly flashed on the screen (they look like stuck pixels, except they jump around). This was especially true for video gaming; not as much for less graphics-intense activities.
2. Applications like the NVIDIA Control Panel that detect your monitor manufacturer, model, and resolution settings will no longer be able to do so.
3. Make sure that you are using DVI-D connections and not DVI-A.
Customer Review: Overall Good

This splitter did its job. However, if you have two devices plugged in, both need to be on and set on the input for the splitter, or neither device will work. That is inconvenient for me because I wanted to use it for my tv and computer at the same time. So right now, I just have the computer plugged in. Otherwise, it works well.Customer Review: DVI Splitter

If you are looking for a splitter to use two monitors on your computer through a dvi connection this is the one to buy.
One warning though, when you buy the DVI cables insure they have the correct pin layout, I made the mistake of getting a cable that had four pins around the blades and would not work.
Customer Review: CABLE splitter
Summary: 1 Stars
THIS product barely works
the Cable bow does not have enough juice to push thru and provide a clear signal
the DVD and Sony PS3 work v good!
I say do not buy as there are other ways to split the signal -- You can have mine just send me the postage money!
