QuestionWill this work for HDMI output from a laptop to DVI input of a monitor?The way the description reads, the direction is the opposite of what I need.
Asked 10 years ago by WillieJohnG.
- Answer I am doing exactly that. I have a new Malibal Gaming laptop that I also use for work, and it only has HDMI output. The monitors at the site I am working at only have DVI cables coming out or VGA so I got this converter and plugged it into the end of the DVI cable and plugged the adapter directly into the HDMI port of my laptop. Works perfect. I wrote this answer using this setup ;)

QuestionWhy would this stop working after about an hour's use?
Asked 14 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I have a Monster Cable adapter that is DVI to HDMI and it works fine. Honestly there is no reason for your adapter to fail....ever! Try looking for another reason it is not the adapter. It probably is a problem with one of the two components that are attached. Good luck!

QuestionThis worked so well for one year. Then my monitor began blinking. I checked the monitor and the DVI cables only to find that the adaptor was the culprit. Is there a warranty on these adaptors? Shame if they're prone to fail or if mine was defective.

QuestionDoes this work on Mac or Pc?
Asked 12 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer In theory, yes, however your question is a bit confusing. Mac or PC has no baring on the ability to use an HDMI to DVI adapter as those are just video connectors used for cabling. So in short, if the adapter provides the appropriate conduit to resolve a cable connector incompatibility, this will most likely provide the solution you need.
