DVI to HDMI adapter Cable

The STC-NN010 DVI to HDMI adapter Cable 1.5m lets you connect a digital DVI input from your desktop or laptop computer onto a HDMI monitor or projector, saving the cost of upgrading to a DV compatible display.

Enhance your gaming or home-theater system with this STC HDMI to DVI adapter cable. Because it’s backwards compatible with DVI-D and DVI-I signals, the cable can be used to connect your computer or DVI-equipped device to an HDMI-equipped HDTV or display. Watch videos from your laptop on your large-screen HDTV--or the other way around. The cable will even connect HDMI-equipped devices like Blu-Ray, PlayStation 3, or Xbox 360 to a DVI-equipped monitor or TV. Other than not supporting audio, the HDMI to DVI adapter cable functions just like a high-speed HDMI cable, making it easy to enjoy serious gaming, home-theater entertainment, and more.

The industry standard for transmitting uncompressed digital data, High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) provides video, especially at high resolutions, and renders small, high-contrast details, such as text, in high quality. HDMI cables are used with a variety of everyday electronic components, including computers and home-theater screens. Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is a video-interface standard that provides quality transmissions on digital display devices such as flat-panel LCD computer displays and digital projectors.

By connecting HDMI to DVI with the STC adapter cable, you get an impressively enhanced video experience on your compatible device. The AmazonBasics HDMI to DVI adapter cable meets the latest HDMI standard, and supports the wide-angle theatrical 21:9 video aspect ratio.

The DVI connector of the cable is not fitted for audio capability, however, so audio will need to be transmitted through a separate audio cable or through a fiber-optic (Toslink) cable.

Customer Feedback

"First of all I really want to thank the community for answering my questions about this cord before I purchased it! It was really helpful to me! Okay so this cord is exactly what I needed to connect my desktop tower to my Sony smart tv. I plugged the DVI end into my computer and plugged the HDMI into the port on the TV and it worked perfect. The reason I needed this cord was because my computer doesn't have HDMI and the TV only has HDMI. I have been trying out different VGA converter cords before trying the DVi, and none of them had worked at all. So I am very happy that this one finally worked! My computer runs windows 10, which I think is why the VGA cord wasn't working. Perhaps something to do with a driver or something? Now the only thing is that this cord will NOT transfer sound. This is a video cable only. You will have to use either a aux cord directly to your tv or to an external speaker. But this cord does exactly as I was told by the community members as well as the description by the seller."

"Exactly what I needed to add a 3rd display to my son's gaming PC. The graphics card on the PC has HDMI, VGA, and DVI outputs. I used this cable to connect my LG HDTV for use as an overhead display."

"I have four Acer 22-inch monitors, and the 16:10 aspect ratio (1680x1050 res) never did work well with the VGA ports on any video card I've used. The monitors automatically and correctly pick native resolution whenever data runs through the monitor's DVI port, whether from DVI output from the computer, or via an HDMI-to-DVI or DisplayPort-to-DVI cable.

Besides the OEM video card on my home computer (which supports DVI, HDMI and VGA outputs), I installed a Radeon HD5450 PCIe1x which I also purchased from Amazon (DVI, DisplayPort and VGA outputs). Great card, by the way.

This cable was the answer for my monitor on the far left, now fed by the resident card and its HDMI ouput. I removed the VGA-to-VGA cable, installed this HDMI-to-DVI cable, and back to native resolution and proper color table selection.

The Hong Kong skyline stretching from left to right on my four monitors now looks great!"

"First off - the scenario: I have a PC with dual DVI-D outputs that I needed to connect to HP E222 monitors, neither of which have DVI-D interfaces. The active DVI to DP option is quite expensive and the VGA option has a little distortion that is barely noticeable but can be a bit bothersome. This cable takes the DVI-D output and converts it to a HDMI signal so you can use any monitor with HDMI input. Note that audio isn't supported, which won't matter on most monitors. These work well for my needs. I'd like to try them in reverse and hook up something like a Raspberry PI to an old LCD monitor to see how/if it works."

"Very nice cable. Constructed well, very flexible. I have been using for months at 720P for my older media center PC to TV. I only needed 720P resolution for easy operation at a 12 foot distance to the couch. Set to 720p so I can see icons and such easily. However, during some recent digital picture editing, I set the resolution to 1080 and the cable couldnt seem to handle it. The screen flickered every 5-10 seconds . Was usable, but very annoying. Another DVI to HDMI cable I had worked fine at 1080P. Other people reviewing this cable had no trouble at 1080P, so it is just something in my equipment I guess. I havent tried the cable in reverse, that is HDMI to DVI, will try when I have time and update this review.

UPDATE - Used this for HDMI to DVI at 1680 x 1050 resolution. Worked great. REMINDER, in either mode DVI to HDMI or HDMI to DVI you have to run sound separate from the audio output of your host device. DVI cannot pass sound, regardless of the direction of the video signals. For this cables HDMI to DVI capability it is a steal at this price."
