Title: DVI cable recommendations
Post by: Aurora Paradox on December 05, 2010, 07:33:24 pm
The subject line says it all.  I'm looking for a high quality but not outrageously priced DVI cable.

My current pick so far is this. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812270191)

Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

If all you need is 6 feet it's hard to go wrong unless you're buying Monster Cable :D

Whatever you buy, make sure it has "GOLD" in big bold letters somewhere on the front of the package. You need its superior properties to view boobs properly.

just buy the first DVI-D cable you come across that has gold plated connectors, is dual-link and doesnt cost an arm and a leg.

basically, shiny golden DVI-D dual-link cable.

Very Relevant Wiki Page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface#Connector)









as a side note, dont buy a DVI-I cable, since if you do, you wont be able to plug it into any DVI input port on any monitor or similar equipment. Unless you're willing to take a pair of small plyers and rip out the offending plugs...

On a side-side note there are more then DVI-I and DVI-D so make sure you know exactly the type both deceives take and that they are compatible.
