Is this cable of transferring 120hz? I know DVI is, but HDMI isn't, so what about this?

I was unable to get this cable to utilize 120hz on my BenQ XL2720Z. I tried connecting both ways with the HDMI on the monitor and DVI on computer, and vice-versa. Using the DVI cable supplied with my monitor made the 120hz refresh rate show up instantly upon connection with no software installation or reboot.

You are correct, plug the adapter into your Graphics Card and then use your own DVI cable. Please be aware that this adapter will not work for monitors that require Dual-Link bandwidth (120hz+ monitors, or resolutions above 1920x1200).

According to the item specification "transfer rates of up to 340Mhz or 10.2gbps" this is a 1.4 version cable. HDMI 2.0 supports 600 mhz clock rates and up to 18GB throughput

I would assume so i used it from my laptop hdmi port to a old DVI only monitor fuctions great. But like everyone else has said DVI does not transfer sound.

These are unreliable. I have bought several and they have a 50% failure rate within a month of first use, even when you don't need an active adapter (i.e. after failure it will not work even as a passive adapter). Unfortunately I can not answer the 120hz question for certain, but I know I did have them working at 1920x1080. I replaced them all with MiniDisplayPort to DVI adapters marketed for Apples, and they have proven 100% reliable... but you do need mini-ports or a mini to regular adapter.

No. HDMI carries audio but dvi doesn't, so you need a separate cable for that.

If you buy it from me I'll give you the USA native AC/DC adapter and cables. No, these are not capable of running at 120Hz, they're native to just 60Hz @ 2560x1440p resolution.

Unfortunately the owners manual that comes with it it's pretty basic, but we have a blu-ray connected and its really good, we are happy with our projector just try to get a good brand of HDMI, but as everybody else said I don't think it's 120 hz.

I'm not sure what you're asking here. The cable not is powered; it simply connects directly from my HDMI device(PS3), to a monitor, both of which are powered themselves.

DVI cables only carry a video signal, the HDMI can carry audio but when its converted to Dvi it loses that capabiltity

Considering that HDMI 1.4 can only do 4k@30hz (so 30 frames per second), I'm not sure how the this translates to the actual panel being capable of 120hz unless they are referring to lesser resolutions. HDMI 2.0 is supposed to support 4k@60hz. I am interested in 4k/8k resolutions primarily for PC. Displayport supports 4k@60hz but typically it's used for the PC market.

I have the same issue - 60 and not 120 hz, but I do not do video games or watch sports much, so 60suffices me. However if you find out how to get 120, please let me know. --Rabbi Ed

Im sure either a VGA or a DVI would do the trick. I have a dvi connecting my PC to my 120Hz HDTV and it works swimminginly

What you are looking for is from HDMI to DVI. There is no reason for this cable not to work but I never tried that. My setup is from DVI to HDMI and that works. As far as I know, the reverse should work as well but not 100% sure.

The cable is hd but this is a component cable is not hdmi...similar to the red yellow white components. Some tv's are high def and need the blue green red connection.

HDMI cables will support the resolution of 2560x1080 natively. It will also cap out at 60fps so it'll match the refresh rate of the monitor as well.

Since it is to convert to vga, it is a dvi-i. Remember, you can't make a double conversion to hdmi. You can make only one jump.
