DVI display corruption?

I recently bought a cheap $20 DVI-I cable off Ebay, brand new. I got it today and plugged it into my Viewsonic VX910 which is driven by an Asus 6800 256mb video card. After I setup nview in the display panel to clone, I pressed the button to switch to the digital input on my moniotr. It switched over but the screen had lots of stuck pixels, red, blue, green. It was weird, so I switched over to analog input. No problem. WTF, is going on?

Yeeaaahhh EBay.....oh wait..........Nevermind.
 
The problem is not the price of the cable but the fact that you got a junk cable. Was it sealed in it's case or was it open? I know you said brand new but I noticed Ebayer's definition of brand new seems to differ from the norm at times. If it was unsealed it's very likely that guy knew it was defective.
 
It was sealed in plastic. If looks like a good quality DVI cable, I don't see anything physically wrong with it.
