Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Bi-directional: HDMI-to-DVI or DVI-to-HDMI on the same cable

  • ✓ Net jacket adds abrasion protection on the run

Cons

  • ✗ Caps at 1080p; no 4K/60 Hz UHD support
  • ✗ 3 ft only — too short for tower-to-desk-monitor runs

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Amazon Basics HDMI to DVI Adapter Cable using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the cables & connectors category. Amazon Basics's cables & connectors lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for cables & connectors of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work with a DVI-I monitor, or only DVI-D?

Both. Amazon Basics lists it as compatible with DVI-D 24+1 devices and also with DVI-I 24+5 equipped devices.

Can I use it to send video from a DVI graphics card to an HDMI TV?

Yes. The cable is bi-directional, so it connects HDMI-equipped devices to DVI displays or DVI-equipped devices to HDMI-enabled displays.

Does it support 4K?

No. The manufacturer states it cannot support 4K/60 Hz UHD. Plan on 1080p, which matches the DVI-era displays this cable typically pairs with.

Will I get audio through the DVI end?

DVI is a video-only connector, so audio does not pass to a DVI display. Route sound through a separate cable or your PC's audio output.

How long is it, and is that enough for a desktop tower?

It is 3 feet (0.9 m). That covers monitor-arm and on-desk placements; a floor-standing tower usually needs a longer run.
