BENFEI DisplayPort to DVI 6 Feet Cable, DisplayPort to DVI Adapter Male to Male Gold-Plated Cord Cable for Lenovo, Dell, HP and Other Brand

Long cord enough to plug in I literally don’t know how to write a review. It works because it’s a cord that says it will and it does. And it’s the type of cord that I needed so that’s a plus.

Muy buen producto excelente uso

Have several monitors and one only has dvi and hdmi. video output via displayport is always preferred. this cable worked perfectly with good signal quality.

Item worked perfectly to connect my older monitor to my new computer. So much cheaper, then you would pay an electronics store. Definitely recommended.

works well. connects new computer dp port TO very old monitor dvi port. computer correctly identifies monitor type and color profile. latch on dp connector prevents accidental disconnect. this is NOT the correct cable to connect computer dvi port to monitor dp port. cable is limited to 60Hz 1080p.

I am using this cable for a second monitor which I put various windows onto and arrange them how I prefer. I first tried an amazon basics Displayport to HDMI cable, but it had an issue where when I powered off the monitor it would no longer be detected. So then of course Windows OS moves all my windows over to my main monitor, and I'd have to rearrange them. This cable though seems to do what I want it to do, and keeps the monitor "alive" and detected in Windows even when powered off. So if that is the behavior you want this might be the cable for you. Other monitors may not behave this way, but it worked for me.

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.

This was used in a temporary situation to add additional DVI monitors for a gig where the USB-C dock only had additional HDMI and DisplayPort outputs.
