is this the same as a regular dvi-d cable with some of the pins missing? Can I use a regular dvi-d cable with all of the pins in place of this cable?

I just asked a techie about this & he said yes, you can use the regular cable with the extra pins.

No, it's a female end, like the back of a computer, so you need a normal cable to plug in. Works great, if you have a DVI cable, buy an adapter/converter, then you have access to both types of display inputs. Even though expensive, I now have 2 and leave 1 at home and travel with the other

It will work with a dvi adapter but I had lots of artifacting and glitches in dark areas of the screen. 100ft is just too long with this cable. The 75ft version worked perfectly though.

The photo is correct. Many Display Port converters are used to connect the display port to a DVI cable, which is then hooked to the monitor, and those have the DVI end you are describing. Since this has a cable already, the end is designed to hook directly up to the DVI port on the monitor, and no additional cable is needed. I just installed one of these, and the cable appears to be high quality. I plugged the display port end directly into the video card and the DVI end directly to the monitor. Worked like a charm!

I looked at the back area and all ports or connected, so I'm guessing it comes with the DVI cord. (Its been a bit of time since I received and hooked up.) Hope this answer helps.

I purchased mine on Newegg and mine didn't come with one. Being as it is a regular Display Port, I would say no. Be sure that you do get an ACTIVE Display Port adapter though if you are going to be using at least 3 monitors (2 can use just DVI/HDMI). I found a $22 ACTIVE Powercolor Display Port adapter on Newegg.

Hi, thanks for contacting us. This connection is for a specific type of DVI cable. If there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know. Sincerely, Chris Nickels Red planet Trading

I believe it was just the VGA cable. A DVI isnt too expensive. you can get one for between 5-10 bucks and shouldnt deter you from buying the awesome budget monitor!

I can confirm problems with DVI cables received with 2 of these monitors. Luckily, I had ordered some longer DVI Dual Link cables which got me up and running. The worst part of receiving the insufficient cables was that Windows sensed the monitors max resolution, but only produced a black screen (making it appear there was an issue with the video card).

The cable that comes with your monitor will work. DVI-D works with any monitor that has a DVI connection, as long as you are plugging it into a DVI port on your video card. You would only need DVI-I if you need to use your monitor's VGA connector plugged into a DVI port on the video card. The DVI-I cable has 4 extra little pins around the flat blade pin of the DVI connector. These are the analog connections for VGA. If you are going to do this, you also need a DVI-I to VGA adapter plugged directly into your monitor. Note that a DVI-I cable won't plug into a DVI-D port on a monitor because the 4 extra little pins don't exist on a DVI-D port. The cable that comes with your monitor will work.

The monitor is DVI-D. I'm not sure what the difference is between single and dual links, but the description of the cable I use says it's dual link and it works great. Hopefully this helps. This is the cable I use:

Not easy to say. PC must have HDMI not USB which looks very similar but are not. Many Monitors use only a VGA which has less pins in the screw on end of cord. I suggest check your pin configuration on Monitor because some DVI's have less pins. I made that mistake first time around.
