Five Star Reviews: | 83% Works great with older DVI-D monitor September 23, 2017 Good quality cable, does exactly what it should, which is connect a DVI monitor to your DVI slot in your video card. This works perfectly with my oldest monitor, a BenQ that has only DVi-D and VGA plugs in back. If your monitor has a HDMI plug, for watching TV movies you may get a better quality picture with that rather than DVI, which would be better for gaming (PC type displays).I originally bought this longer cable because I thought I'd move the position of the monitor further away. As a rule of thumb, you should buy the shortest cable you need, since the longer the cable, the worse the lower the monitor resolution the monitor is capable of.This is a great cable for the price. It gave me better picture quality than when connected through standard HDMI cable June 18, 2017 This worked perfectly for my computer's LG W2453v 1080p monitor through a GTX 960 4GB video card. It gave me better picture quality than when connected through standard HDMI cable, due to a bug in the video driver, which previously handled my monitor as an HDTV rather than a PC monitor. This limited my color range and showed some color banding on my screen. As soon as I changed the cable out to this new DVI cable, the screen issues were gone. :)The cable feels durable. Basically your typical DVI cable with thick insulation tubing. Works exactly as it should! August 1, 2016 I ordered this cable last year but am only now reviewing it because I am using it right now. I ordered this cable to connect my R9 380 Nitro to my Acer R240HY bidx 23.8-Inch IPS HDMI DVI VGA (1920 x 1080) Widescreen Display which I only acquired recently also. Before today, I was using an old Samsung monitor with a VGA connection. Anyway, back to the review. The packaging came frustration free as advertised. It is very thick and my monitor recognized it instantly. No problems here whatsoever. I am currently using a resolution of 1920x1080 and it works perfectly. The quality of this cable makes me want to order their HDMI one and see how it performs as well.I am not adding pictures because the pictures in the product description are 100% accurate. Great product at 1/4 the price of big electronic chain! July 1, 2016 I didn't have a DVI cable so I had to head to my local electronics store and pick one up. As usual, I am reminded why BB is losing market share and losing money to Amazon. This cable was $26! Amazon had it for $6! Quit ripping off the world, electronics stores! Guess which cable is going back?Anyway, this is a great cable from Amazon that does its job perfectly. Quality build. One more tip, always opt for the 5 or 6 foot cable, instead of the 3 foot. There is never enough cord to work on your computer without unhooking it with the 3 footer. Great price ! and just as sturdy as you will find on any good cable June 20, 2016 As others have noted, this is a DVI-D (dual link) cable which supports higher resolutions that a standard single link DVI cable. These cables are well made, and just as sturdy as you will find on any good cable. The shielding is high quality, the connectors are snug and it does not stick out more than it has to. The cord will wrap, bend, twist easily as well, which is something often overlooked as most cables with thick shielding are too stiff to manipulate.Do not waste your money going out to the chain stores and spending a ton of money on big name brand cables that have more money in their packaging than their product (looking at you monster products). I have used the AmazonBasics brand for so many things. These cables, HDMI cables, indoor antennae (comparable to the mohu leaf), and surge protectors as well as anything else Ive seen the Amazon brand on. They will work just as good if not better, and cost a lot less. Sure, there are cable manufacturers that can get you the same cable, cheaper, but you will be hard pressed to find one that is cheaper that also has a good return policy, and that will get it to you with free 2 day shipping. The packaging on these are what they should be with a cable. A small, simple, cardboard box that the cable fits in perfectly. Not some hard to open, thick, plastic, clamshell case covered in graphics that cost more than the actual cable and are a pain to open. Cable time, works great! September 29, 2015 Good Cable, works fine with no problems. awesome price for the length. | 75% definatley worth the purchase! July 28, 2017 high quality cable at a very nice cost. this works great! I have purchased a longer cable that did not have the sheilding this one does. the picture on that other cable appears shaky or blurry. this cable very clear and looks great i cant believe the difference. this is a very nice cable and would recommend it to anyone! I use this one when connecting my computer to my projector and its awesome Value, quality May 24, 2017 As good as any VGA/VGA cables I've used over the past two+ decades. Good price. Works with older and newer monitors and computers utilizing VGA connections. Would buy again if I need another one. Solid build March 22, 2017 Arrived on time. Thought it was broke, but found out is was the VGA adaptor. Good solid material. Good purchase March 20, 2017 Bought this to connect my work laptop to my monitor fo when I work from home and it spiel wonderfully good cable, but end a bit large for some devices. March 5, 2017 quick delivery. very well-made. solid. works great. only problem is that the ends are a bit large, and i was not able to fit the end into my rca tv, to use as a pc monitor. i mean, physically, large,length from male inserts to screw-in tighteners. actuall, the rca monitor is to blame for poor design!! otherwise, excellent quality and a good deal. Great Cable, Great Price January 20, 2017 These are high quality cables, well molded end pieces, heavy duty cable, and plenty of interference protection. For the price they are impossible to beat.A small story. I purchased a 10 ft VGA cable from Office Depot... had to have one... cost me $30. It went inside a wire loom along with two monitor power cords, a DP cable and a USB cable. The VGA monitor flickered all over the place until I pulled it out of the wire loom to separate it from the power cables. I then replaced the cable in the wire loom with one of these. No issues whatsoever. | 80% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Four Star Reviews: | 11% good October 5, 2017 i didn't have a DVI cable so I had to head to my local electronics store and pick one up. As usual, I am reminded why BB is losing market share and losing money to Amazon. This cable was $26! Amazon had it for $6! Quit ripping off the world, electronics stores! Guess which cable is going back?Anyway, this is a great cable from Amazon that does its job perfectly. Quality build. One more tip, always opt for the 5 or 6 foot cable, instead of the 3 foot. There is never enough cord to work on your computer without unhooking it with the 3 footer. Great price ! Satisfied customer. June 2, 2017 Works fine but very heavy - has a mind of its own. I used plenty of twist ties. Great quality, the screw ends are too short and ... March 23, 2017 Great quality,the screw ends are too short and hard to turn Heavy Duty February 20, 2017 Thick cable. See photo for comparison to the stock cable that came with my monitor. Works Well But the Cable is Thicker and Stiffer Than I Expected February 13, 2017 The cable looks well made and it works flawlessly. Be aware that it is made with a really thick cable and has large diameter ferrites at each end. The ferrites would not fit through the cable management slot on my computer desk and the cable was not very flexible. I was able to route the cable to make it work fine though. The large diameter of the cable might actually be a sign that it's good quality. Just be aware of it ahead of time. Solid Build and transfers video great. August 24, 2016 This cable is used for a second monitor output from my gaming desktop. The connectors itself are very sturdy and look high-quality. However, the cable is rather thick and non-flexible. This can be frustrating, as the 3 foot cable effectively loses a few inches of length unless you're hooking something up right in a straight line. I had no issues with the video delivery from my desktop to my monitor.AmazonBasics strikes again, and delivers a cheap, quality, albeit inflexible product. | 13% Sturdy cable May 25, 2017 My only complaint would be the thumb screws.- No textural surface to help your fingers get a good grip when reaching into tight, awkward spaces to loosen.- No slits for a screwdriver when you want to really snug up a new installation or loosen a stubborn thumb screw.The classic blue connectors were designed the way they were for a reason. These Amazon cables are fine for home use but the stubby, bald thumb screws could be frustrating for professionals who deal with installing them on a regular basis. Works great. March 7, 2017 Giving 4 stars because it was hard to tighten it even though you do not really need to tighten it. The cable itself is pretty sturdy so that's good. but I couldn't be happier. Wihile I think I didn't need such a ... September 5, 2016 The cable is brand new and works well with my laptop and tablet to connect to the TV. I had to get adapters for the sound and everything to work, but I couldn't be happier. Wihile I think I didn't need such a long cable, it s a perk to have.The only reason I didn't give it five stars was because when I was trying to secure it to the adapter, it was very hard to get the screws to tighten. I'll be using it frequently to see if any issues pop up, but for now, it looks good! great quality with subtle design flaws March 3, 2016 I can appreciate the quality put into this cable, but the plugs are HUGE. It was a real pain to plug this into my monitor, as it would barely clear the area provided on the back of this particular monitor. Also the knobs on the screws are a real pain as well. They need to be longer with this design or not have the knobs at all and just be a metal hex with a screw driver slot.Works fine, quality seems very good. Just some design flaws that made me have to knock a star off of this. the screw knobs design need to be changed for better grip. It annoyed me how hard it was ... December 6, 2015 This cable was well made. It works as described. It could be thinner, lighter, but more importantly, the screw knobs design need to be changed for better grip. It annoyed me how hard it was for me to connect this cable to my PC. | 11% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Three Star Reviews: | 3% it's great for the price June 16, 2017 Cable received did not function on my laptop docking station. I tried an exact cable that we had from a working system, and it functioned exactly as expected. Both cables were Amazon Basic DVI-D cables so results are mixed. When it works, it's great for the price. Nice cable but with some problems November 8, 2016 Bought this to use on a monitor that doesn't have a HDMI port. The digital output from the graphics card is much better in all aspects than that of the VGA cable.However, when using this cable many videos pixelate as though the cable cannot feed the video stream fast enough to the monitor. The video will seem to "catch up", but the problem recurs just a few minutes later. This phenomenon does not happen with a VGA cable. only reason im giving 3 stars is because 1, ... September 12, 2016 only reason im giving 3 stars is because 1, it was inside 3 boxes. ITS A CORD NOT GLASS IT DOESNT NEED 3 BOXES M8. 2, leaves weird border around my screen that wasnt present while using HDMI.3, for whatever reason, one piece of the metal socket on the end was bent, so it wouldnt allow me to even put the cord in until i bent it out. rather unpleasant for just one single little DVI cable. i ordered 2. 1 worked, while the other ... January 27, 2015 i ordered 2. 1 worked, while the other was defective........ | 4% It's a cable - what do you expect? September 22, 2017 It's not fancy, but it doesn't need to be. It does the job just fine. It works..... June 24, 2017 Very big adapter, not flexible. Works okay but doesn't fit in tight spaces very easily. OK February 7, 2017 One pin was bent, even though it came with a cover. Fixed it and works well, but the knobs are super annoying to screw in. Limitations of product June 14, 2016 1. The molded housing is bulky making for a tight fit in compact spaces.2. The machine screws that hold the connector in place are bulky and smooth. There is no slot to fit a screwdriver for tightening.However, the sturdiness of the construction is well above average and may be worth ordering if the above mentioned limitations can be managed. I received a used product August 2, 2015 The cable seems to work fine, but I was really disappointed to get an open box item with a cable that looked like it had been used in a smurf tube or something similar. If I wanted to get that kind of product I would have gone to Fry's. On the plus side, the packaging was definitely frustration free because it was already opened for me. | 4% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Two Star Reviews: | 1% ... I got unlucky but I cannot say I would recommend this adapter October 9, 2017 Maybe I got unlucky but I cannot say I would recommend this adapter. I used it to connect my monitor to my computer. It was fine for the first few couple of days but soon the screen started to flash black from time to time. Just a second flashing black then back to normal.I have tested with other monitors and cables and I can definitely source the problem to this adapter. Worked for 6 months and then stopped March 21, 2017 Went bust after 6 months. Confirmed by testing with different monitors. Defective, but Great Service from Amazon October 22, 2016 Cable was defective form day one. Not sure why, but it affected the video card in such a way that neither of my monitors worked. Eventually figured out the problem. Amazon (you gotta love them) issued a full credit without my having to drop it off at UPS. Two stars because of Amazon's great service. | 4% should have slots in the end of the screws... September 26, 2017 decent price, cable itself is heavy... biggest drawback is that there are no slots in the end of the screws, you must use your fingers, which depending on the type of monitor, can be nearly impossible! If space is tight, you'll have a really hard time getting the screws tightened. Worked great but only for a few months April 24, 2017 Failed in just a few monthsGreat price, lousy product Cord length is great, but quality is poor. February 1, 2017 I needed a longer VGA cord for my monitor. Amazon had good prices for the length I needed. However I just plugged in my monitor and now it is incredibly blurry. I have been messing with the resolution and can't get it any sharper. The only thing that changed was getting the longer cord. I don't know if it is the length or if it is the quality but it hurts to look at my monitor and I am not happy. I would not recommend this product. I found the cables to be tight fitting and did not feel like they were plugging in well January 24, 2017 I purchsed 2 of these cables to run through the floor from desk to server rack for KVM connections. I found the cables to be tight fitting and did not feel like they were plugging in well. First cable came up just fine but the second cable came up with the screen being tinted yellow. I checked the connections and tested on different monitors and found the cable to be the problem. Due to the dificulty to run this cable I'm not looking forward to replacing it. Eh, just ok. September 13, 2016 They seem to be decent quality, but lack any decent grip on the turnstiles and with no Phillips screw driver cuts, its almost impossible to unscrew them. Also, the image sometimes goes a funky color if the cables are bent a certain way. It also has a poor fit. Plugged into my computer and monitor July 26, 2016 The cable is alright. I plugged into my computer and it made my monitor too yellow no matter what color adjustments I tried. It also has a poor fit. Plugged into my computer and monitor, both sides didn't fit quite right. It felt a bit tight pushing it in even though it was the right end, and the screw things didn't fit right either. They stuck out partway. The cable is also super bulky. It wouldn't be cost effective to ship back so it's sitting in my cable drawer. I went out and got a 12 foot HDMI instead. | 1% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

One Star Reviews: | 2% Bent female end - Cable is not usable September 19, 2017 The cable arrived with the metal bent out of shape. It's not even usable because the shape is so off that it can't be inserted into the monitor nor the computer. I expected better from AmazonBasics. I've never had a problem with them before. I guess quality control is going down hill. Item failed less than a year into use. January 9, 2017 The cable worked as it should from June 2016 but failed by December 2016. I was using the cable in a two monitor setup connected to a docking station. Started noticing an incorrect picture on monitor one that kept getting worse. Tried swapping cables and monitor 2 then had the same issue. So knew the monitors were OK. I just replaced this cable with a new one (not amazonbasics) and the issue is gone.Amazon said my product was no longer eligible for support so I guess it is less than one year on these. Came faulty, green streaks all around monitor that wasn't ... September 19, 2016 Came faulty, green streaks all around monitor that wasn't there before. I have to bend the cable slightly in one direction for it to work normally, and even then it turns green now and then as the cable bends back Junk August 31, 2016 1 of 3 was DOA, the other 2 have failed in less than 2 months. Too late to return. Bad Product July 25, 2016 It starting to produce blue lines on the screen i had to replace it only after a week. Cable kept failing randomly after about 4 months. March 13, 2016 Cable kept failing randomly after about 4 months. Had to replace. Got tired of unplugging it and plugging it back in, jiggling, etc. | 4% 0 stars March 10, 2017 Bought two of these.Pros: One works great!Cons: The other doesnt work, first time I hooked it up 1/4 of the screen was off the monitor. Second time on another computer it worked then the next day it didnt at all. Also, the thumb screws are too close to the cable end its very hard to tighten into place. Not a deal breaker but a pain in the ass, especially if your all thumbs youll be screwed (or not LOL).UPDATE: The second one just quit working after a couple days. POS never buy these not so great March 6, 2017 I purchased this without looking at the reviews, because typically amazonbasics items I've ordered are good quality. This was a pretty bad item, not only did it turn the monitor yellow but it also caused constant flickering. Paid for 15, received 10. Not worth returning December 28, 2016 Ordered 15 ft, received 10 ft. Box was marked 15 So disappointed August 6, 2016 I bought this TWICE for my father's computer and had to return both of them. The data flow to the monitor kept blinking out intermittently, every couple of minutes. I thought the first one was just defective and ordered a replacement, but ... same exact problem with that one. So disappointed. I've never had trouble with an AmazonBasics cable before, EVER, but I'm not willing to try a third time. Causes blurry pixels July 26, 2016 This is not a good cable. I have purchased Amazon Basics HDMI cables in the past and had no problems. However there are several problems with this VGA cable: it causes pixels to appear blurry compared to other inexpensive VGA cables that I have tried. In addition the screw connectors do not have any ridges and are difficult to twist. Finally it is a very thick cable- if it actually transmitted the signal better I would understand but considering the poor job it does I don't know why it is so thick. I would not recommend this VGA cable. | 4% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
