    New PC but an old monitor?

    Father-in-law had a newer computer but an older monitor. Since he didn't want to buy a new monitor, this cable was able to make the connection between the 2 devices. Image quality was good (as good as the old monitor could produce). If you are in a similar situation, this cable should "do the trick"!

    This was great. I needed to connect a Playstation 5 to an older monitor and this did the trick. An HDMI cable doesn’t work, nor does an VGA cable because it is analog. This HDMI to DVI cable transmits digital, so it works, and I am very happy.

    Thank God Best Buy had these. I am working from home again with a new job and unfortunately, I had to buy my own monitors. I had an old and and was given some and they used these old VDA (I think they're called) hook-ups. Best Buy had them in stock and saved the day.

    Works great, better than a HDMI-to-VGA adapter

    This was the perfect solution for me. I bought a secondhand monitor that was a bit older so it only had DVI and VGA ports while my laptop only has an HDMI port. The description for this item is a little confusing but it does work for an HDMI output (from laptop) to DVI input (into monitor). Just to reiterate since I'm not sure if this cable is bidirectional, my use for this cable is to extend the display from my laptop to a monitor that has a DVI port. I hope this helps! I spent hours going down a rabbit hole of how to connect my HDMI only laptop to this monitor I got, and TLDR; HDMI->DVI is a better connection and more reliable because they are both digital signals. HDMI->VGA requires changing the digital signal into an analog one for the VGA port to process.

    Got a new monitor but still had an old PC. Best Buy had the needed cable in stock and was able to get me rolling. Best Buy essentials have come a long way and typically the quality is decent for most people.

    Well constructed HDMI to DVI-D cable that allowed me to use my new Windows 11 desktop computer with my older non-HDMI capable monitor. The 6 foot length is appropriately long for the distance between my desktop computer and monitor. Great price and in-stock at my local store.
