Check out the Pioneer Australia Clearance Centre for some bargains. They have 5M HDMI to DVI cable for $10 posted! Oznetics is selling a 2.5m cable for $21.50. The Pioneer store has other bargains as well such as Pioneer related merchandise, amplifiers, speakers etc!
Last I check, the stock level is only showing 15 cables remaining. It is listed under "Brand New Specials" category. Be quick :)
I dont know if anything today actually uses dual link, i think it is just a theoretical kind of thing
24+1 is a normal DVI plug, like this http://www.chinawholesalegift.com/pic/Electrical-Gifts/Compu…
Some devices do not have the +1 pin which is the large flat one you can see on the right.
If yours doesnt just grab some tweezers and pull the pin out
take a look at this pic:

What I already have is a DVI-D (single link) 18+1 cable that came with my monitor.
My laptop has a DVI-D (dual link) 24+1 connection.
I know that the "extra" pins are for analog (as HDMI is only 19 pins) but I would like a cable that is 24+1.
Alot being sold are 18+1 including Monster cables and Belkin's DVI-HDMI offering.
If I get a 18+1 instead of the 24+1 I'm looking for, and the original cable is long enough, I'll gladly pass on the cable to another OzBargain member.

Dual-link DVI? Required by 30" monitors, like the Dell 3007WFP.
gone
yup.
Did you get one?
Nope - just missed out as I was registering….. :o(
Still shows 2 when I checked (I didn't buy as you have to create an account, so maybe there really is none if I got to the checkout):
"5 meter HDMI to DVI Cable - Was:$99.00
Model No: 5MHDMI-DVI
Price: $10.00
Quantity Available: 2"
yay got one. I was almost going to buy one from deal extreme, but this one was so much better value, expecially with the 12 month warranty
all gone, DOH!
Glad to see some of you got some.
Damn… would have love one of these two, perfect for the LCD in the lounge to connect the lappie too.
there are some other good prices on that site too…
Hey, it seems to back up at $15 this time, 81 available!
That's a great price. I've never known about Pioneer having an online shopfront. When did this all come about?
Excellent bargain for $10 delivered; shame it's now $15.
Got the cable today.
Is a 24+1 pin so I am very happy :-)
Even at $15, its a good buy.
It will cost me $5-$10 to get a HDMI-DVI adapter for a $10-$20 5 metre HDMI cable.
Might get another one in the future.
Thanks moo for the great bargain :-)
Thanks mate!
Be very quick only 2 left :-)
Got one for connecting laptop to TV/Monitor.
Just don't know if its DVD-Dual Link (24 +1 pin) or not.
