Manufacturer description

The Anbear bi-directional HDMI to DVI adapter links HDMI and DVI gear in either direction. You can run a DVI-equipped computer to a monitor, HDTV, or projector with an HDMI input. You can also connect an HDMI source, such as a game console, Blu-ray player, TV box, or newer PC, to an older monitor that only has a DVI port. That makes it useful for retro and legacy setups. If you have a solid DVI monitor from the late 2000s, you can keep using it with modern HDMI hardware instead of replacing the screen. The listing states support for resolutions up to 4096x2160, with 1080p at 60Hz confirmed…

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this adapter to connect my PS4, Xbox, or Switch to an old DVI monitor?

Yes. The listing names game consoles as supported HDMI sources for monitors with a DVI port. DVI-D carries video only, so you need to send audio to headphones, a soundbar, or the console controller separately.

Does it work in both directions, HDMI to DVI and DVI to HDMI?

Yes, it is bi-directional. You can connect a DVI computer to an HDMI monitor, HDTV, or projector, or an HDMI device to a DVI-only monitor.

Will it run 4K at 60Hz?

The listing states support up to 4096x2160 and confirms 1080p at 60Hz. It does not give a refresh rate for 4K, so 1080p at 60Hz is the confirmed spec for smooth gaming and video.

Will the adapter stay connected to my monitor?

The DVI-D end has hand-tightened screws that secure it to the port. Grip treads on the PVC body help when you plug it in or pull it out.

What warranty comes with the Anbear HDMI to DVI adapter?

The product details provided do not state warranty terms. Check the current Amazon listing or contact Anbear for warranty and return coverage.
