Hook up your laptop (with HDMI) to an external display with the 1.8M HDMI to DVI Cable. With a male HDMI at one end and male DVI at the other, this cable transfers video so that you see it all on a larger screen. Don't stop at spreadsheets, research, and emails on a second display. Once work is over, this cable makes it easy to game and watch videos from your laptop on a larger screen. The cable will even connect HDMI-equipped devices like DVD players and TVs. The EMI-shielded cable also helps protect against unwanted frequencies or noise.
