Need to hook up your laptop or desktop to an older monitor or TV that only has a DVI port? This short 0.5 meter cable does the trick. It's got a standard HDMI plug on one end and a DVI plug on the other. Super handy for connecting things like your computer, gaming console, or DVD player to a DVI-equipped display, monitor, or projector. Just a heads up - DVI doesn't carry sound, so this cable only transfers the video picture. You'll need a separate audio cable if you want sound. The DVI end fits into both DVI-I and DVI-D sockets, so it's pretty versatile. It's 50cm long (about 1.6 feet), so perfect for setups where your devices are close together. The cable is black and should work fine for high-definition video. A simple, no-fuss solution for bridging the gap between modern HDMI outputs and older DVI displays.
