This worked great for us to clean up our nightstand. Our phones and tablets look nice in their respective slots and no more long cables and chargers piled up on a plugstrip.
It was a little pricey at $24, but it goes on sale once in a while for $15.

I would recommend this to a friend!

We bought the Bluray for our own collection when it originally came out. The grandkids spent a few days at our house and fell in love with it. So our original Bluray left with them, and we bought it again when the 3D version went on sale!

Apple's iPad is the standard by which others are judged. Excellent fit and finish usually means a very durable product that will last for years. And I have had a great experience at the local Apple Store when things do go wrong.

However, the Apple iOS interface is beginning to look dated compared to some of the newer Windows and Android tablets out there, and most of them are available for a lot less money.

They did a good job for a sequel that paid homage to the original. Entertaining but very predictable story.

I bought this for my new Galaxy Note 5 and it works well. Slower charging than when plugged in at home on my nightstand, but convenient to keep it topped off at my desk at work.

Note that there is a new "Fast Charge" model now available (for the latest phones) for a higher price.

I bought and installed four of these for lights around my home, Set them up in minutes and had remote control from both of our Apple and Android phones and tablets.
Now that they are supported by the Amazon Echo, we have voice control over all of them. Very cool!

I used this as an Extender to my Airport Extreme router for better coverage of a large home. It is definitely pricey for what it is, but it installs easily and works great if you have any Apple products and the Airport App to configure it.

Advanced users might be better served with other more sophisticated manufacturer's models.

Insignia™ - 6' DVI-D-to-HDMI Cable

This 6' Insignia™ NS-PI06502 cable allows you to easily connect your PC or laptop with a DVI output to a high-definition monitor or projector with an HDMI input. The cable supports up to 1920 x 1200 monitor resolutions, so you can enjoy clear, detailed visuals.

I have a projector that has a DVI connect but my computer only has usb or HDMI

Will this work?

Best Answer

This cable will get the signal out of the computer via the HDMI port and into the DVI on the projector, but the DVI connection is ONLY video. You will also need a separate cable for the audio (probably a 1/8" headphone connector) - either to the tiny speaker in the projector or a real speaker system.
