 Does what it shouldFeb 17, 2010
By A. Milo
"Tech Centric"
This is a nice low cost option for buying a dual link DVI cable. It is plenty long for most installations and the quality is very good. I use it with an HP LP3065 and the visual quality is excellent (at 2560x1600) - I've used it with both my MacBook Pro and also with my desktop PC equipped with an older NVidia 8800 GTS 512. This extra cable allows me to hook up both machines to the single monitor and easily switch back and forth between machines. I can't detect any visual quality difference between this cable and the one that is 3x as expensive and that came with the HP monitor. That's a winner in my book.
Would highly recommend this cable for the price.
As a bit of an aside - make sure that you really need THIS cable. Dual link cables are required for high resolution monitors and most people simply don't need a dual link cable. The dual link DVI pins provide an increase of speed and signal quality, allowing for greater resolutions. A DVI single link 60-Hz LCD can display a resolution of 1920 x 1200, while a DVI dual link can display a resolution of 2560 x 1600. If you are running 1920 x 1200 or less, save some money and buy a single link cable. I didn't know that until I actually needed the dual link, so I figured I'd mention it here just in case.

 acceptable cable, but not as picturedOct 25, 2011
By EEguy
The picture does not depict the cable I received. I purchased this cable specifically because it is pictured with the ferrite chokes and thinner cable diameter. I don't like the thicker cables and prefer the compromise of having the chokes. Disappointingly, what I received was a thick cable with no chokes. It's a fine cable and the picture is otherwise correct, but if you're wanting this for the smaller diameter, look elsewhere. This is one of the thick and inflexible ones.
On the other hand, if you're wanting the thicker cable (I presume the larger diameter contains additional shielding) then this is the one for you. It shows no signs of being a cheap cable and is probably well made. Aside from the non-white connectors (making it easier to overlook when looking for a DVI cable in a box of assorted cables) I have no other complaints about it at all. With an updated picture and description, this item would get 5 stars from me. The seller still loses major points for apparently not caring about changing stock, and for having a description which is inadequate to counter the inaccurate picture. Actually, it's inadequate for just about any use I can think of.
EDIT:
It seems a subsequent reviewer has received a cable with ferrite chokes only a few weeks after I received mine. I guess you're rolling the dice if you order this one. This is, of course, very common among cable suppliers. It's certainly no reason to waste your money on Monster or Belkin cables, though. Monoprice should be your first stop for any cable if you don't mind the delay and cost of shipping, but if you're cable shopping on Amazon due to Prime then by all means roll the dice on this one. There is no problem with quality here - only with regularity.

 Not really Dual LinkDec 06, 2011
By Stephen Coy
The cable ends both show the full set of pins needed for a dual link cable but it appears that the manufacturer didn't both to connect the extra pins. This works fine as a single link cable but not at all as a dual link.

Solid, work wellNov 25, 2009
By BSJ1
Couldn't find anything better for the price. Used them to hook two 21.5" monitors to a card. Feel solid, cable flexes without feeling flimsy and everything snaps in. This type of item should really just plain work - leaving you to focus on other stuff - and it does.

Did not work with 23" LCD MonitorApr 06, 2012
By A. Zychowicz
I had a 6 foot DVI cable and it worked but was too taught for where I wanted to place the monitor. I bought this 10ft cable to afford me the slack i needed to tuck the cable alongside the desk. I plugged the cable in and it caused the monitor to flash on and off. I rebooted the computer and had the same issue. I reconnected my shorter cable back in and everything worked fine. This cable did not work like my shorter one does. I will buy one from the same seller I purchased the first shorter one from.
