Cables To Go - 3m DVI-D M/MStrengths: Great Price plus quality. Works as good as the stock cable that came with my monitor. Weakness: Not really a weakness but, being "Dual Link" the cable is bulky. Was a pain getting it connected to my Acer 19" LCD due to the placement of the DVI connector on the monitor. As I stated in my "Weaknesses" the cable being dual link is bulky and could cause some issues depending on what you are connecting it to. The Acer monitors DVI is right above the swivel part of the base so the cable has to be bent out almost at a 90 deg angle. 50% of readers found this review helpful.

no problems with this cable...I like it
Strengths: Good value / price Long thumbscrew connections are easy to tighten down
Weakness: none I've seen.
I installed this cable without problems to connect my
video card DVI output to my LCD monitor which accepts
DVI-D style cable.
This seems like a quality cable. Being about 11/32" in
diameter it is fairly bulky but it's not too bad
considering the number of conductors in the cable. It
is also fairly flexible and it was easy to coil up.
I bought a bit longer than needed even though my PC and
monitor are so close that a 3' cable would have worked.
This "Dual-link" DVI-D cable has all 24 pins plus the
center spade but WITHOUT the outer 4 spade
terminals. This is important because my LCD monitor
does NOT accept a DVI-I cable (which has these outer 4
terminals).
My older "single-link" DVI cable has only 18 pins.
I have read that this can limit the bandwidth of the
digital connection to the monitor.
I noticed a slight improvement in picture quality by
A/B switching between the DVI cable and a traditional
Analog 15-pin D-sub cable connection to the LCD
monitor.
Overall, I feel it was worthwhile to buy this cable,
especially for the purchase price. Made in China, as I
expected.
