DisplayPort to DVI Single Link Cable

Works great! Now I'm able to use my 2nd monitor.

This is a strange cable, but it might be useful to some people if your (newer) computer has a display port output but your (older) monitor does not have a display port input. If your monitor has only a DVI or RGB 15-pin input AND your computer tower has a display port output, this is what you need. The DVI port on your monitor will give you a MUCH better picture than the blue 15-pin RGB port will. This cable is meant for connecting a newer computer tower to an older monitor like this. Just be aware that you can’t get a 4K picture with this (and your monitor likely doesn’t support 4K resolution if it doesn’t have a display port or HDMI port anyway) cable. It will work fine for 1080P and probably be OK for 2K resolution at max. I can confirm this cable works fine and gives a good picture for this situation. Also, unlike an HDMI cable, this cable does NOT carry a sound signal. So make sure you have your computer connected to whatever speakers you want to use. Side note: Be sure to measure the length and make sure the cable is long enough. Also, if your computer AND monitor BOTH have display ports OR HDMI ports, use those instead and don’t buy this cable - those ports are much better.

BENFEI Display Port meets my expectations!

Just a cable nothing fancy

This review assumes you want to plug a DVI monitor into a DisplayPort video card, and not a DVI video card into a DisplayPort monitor, as that is my current setup. I got a new video card recently that only had one DVI out, one HDMI out, and three display port outs. Due to the nature of my work, I have three screens. Two DVI compatible and one is HDMI only. I needed my third screen back, and this does just that by allowing me to plug a DVI monitor into a DisplayPort on my video card without a hitch as if that was the way it was meant to be all along. The picture is as good as any other DVI picture and it's as easy as plugging both ends in to the corresponding ports. No issues even recognizing what type of screen it is, either. The cable feels sturdy in my hands and the DVI side of the cable is very thick and wide. The DisplayPort side of the cable also feels well manufactured. Would recommend, especially if you're on a budget like I was at the time of purchase. Update 7/27/20 Still going strong after almost a year. I even bought two more for other projects. I now also recommend this brand of cable to all of my customers if they need a converter; because they just work.

I like to be fair reviewer. This cable did not work for my purpose, but I am giving it 5 stars. I purchased a new MSI desktop computer and wanted to keep my X-Starr 2710 monitor. The monitor only included a dvi input. It did not work. I searched the internet and found that this older monitor is difficult to connect with a passive converter display port to DVI. I tried the cable with an HP monitor with both a DVI and HDMI input. The cable worked for great for that monitor. I suggest doing research prior to buying this cable to see if your DVI monitor will work with a passive converter.

So for some reason my NVidia GTX-1050i which was providing video to 3 monitors suddenly started flaking and cutting out for long periods on the display port going to an ASUS 27" 16x9 flat panel. It worked for years but just started going black (I think the video card may be wearing out at the higher frequency required by the monitor from the display port). I swapped the connection to use a VGA to HDMI cable and the bigger panel would now boot first in the series of 3 monitors logging in, like my smaller 17" Sony 4x3 used to. It seems the first port left to right on the back of the video card, which is VGA, boots up first when connected with the others. I have 2 ASUS 27" panels purchased at different times but the newer 27" one was flaking on the the HDMI ports both (?) no matter what sources I used. I tested things with the VGA to DVI-D port on the flaky monitor and was happy that things worked. The second one used the HDMI to HDMI and the third old Sony only had VGA and DVI-D inputs so I knew the DVI-D worked from the previous connection but now I had to test the output of the video card from the display port to a DVI-D, and it works perfectly. I have had no drop outs and no problems with any of the monitors or their video quality. Previously I tried rolling back drivers, swapping cables with what I had, etc., but it took the smaller monitor (needing less resources from the video card's display port output (lower vertical refresh freq of 60Hz vs 120Hz required by the 27") to work without glitching. Anyway this cable is nice looking and worked immediately and consistently. Thanks for restoring my PC. BTW, I still run Win 7 due to software needs.

Very Well Constructed
