HDMI to DVI adapter?

very few, even over at AVSFORUM.com have problems with monoprice.

True, it is really hard to accept so much for so little(dollars).

Winston;

Trash the adaptors.

They weigh too much and will sooner or later fatigue you HDMI inputs. This is a real common problem.

Stick with the DVI/HDMI cable.

Yes, I so much do like the robust DVI connector that I am sorry they didn't stick with it when they decided to include audio and came up with HDMI. My own NEC 50XM5 Plasma monitor has no speakers so I am not at all interested in a cable to it that includes audio, anyway.

Winston, I would suspect that any improvement you might somehow find in a cable will be defeated by using adaptors as they will weaken the signal.

"The more stuff along the way, the more there is to contend with."

I can tell you that my own picture quality does improve a bit when I went from a Radio Shack Gold DVI/HDMI to a Varastarr cable with the same terminations.

Winston;

Yes. Over at AVSFORUM.com there are many who lament the HDMI-thing that has become the 'norm'

---I almost feel like the (jarhead) tube guy who hates the transistor(which,I am...)

Suggestion: Watch the occasional auction where the guy starts at $1.00 who claims he 'bought out' all of the Verastarr cables and get his DVI/HDMI cable for roughly $85.00.

Compare this with what you got.

Yes, of late, my listening/viewing has been happy.
