With Longer Cables, Quality Counts.......2007-10-18
Despite what you may have heard, all HDMI cables are not created equal. A $1 HDMI cable is not the same as a $25 cable or a $100 cable. But this doesn't mean that a $100 cable is better, or that you need expensive (or even high quality) HDMI cables for all purposes. Construction quality, cable design, cable thickness (gauge) and connector quality can all play a role in the success you'll have with an HDMI cable. And the longer your cable requirement (and the higher your bandwidth needs), the more important the cable construction.
Yes, HDMI is a digital signal but this does NOT mean that you either "have a signal or you don't." Cheaply constructed HDMI cables can have not only mechanical failures (worn out solder joints over time, ill-fitting connectors), but electrical failures as well, and these can be represented either by visible distortion ("sparklies," lines, dropouts or pixilation), or by incompatibilities with certain high bandwidth HDMI sources and displays.
This is not to say that you need to pay $50, $100 or more on well-known brand HDMI cables in order to get good results, but when you buy "no name" cables (particularly from unknown marketplace sellers), you're taking a risk - you might get something decent, or you might not. And is it really worth it, to save a couple of dollars on the cable, when it may cost you hours of debugging to determine exactly what's wrong with your picture or sound in your high end home theater system?
As the editor of a home theater publication (Big Picture Big Sound), I've had the opportunity to own, evaluate and use many high-end high definition components and displays as well as a variety of HDMI and component video cables. I've used high-end name brand cables as well as no-name plain plastic-wrapped HDMI cables made in China. Some of the cables I've ordered via Amazon marketplace sellers don't even match the picture of the item.
But the "Cables To Go" HDMI cables I've bought from Amazon have been consistently high quality, with strong mechanical connections and excellent reliability. This specific cable (5 meter "Velocity" model), is currently happily in use between an HD cable box and a Sanyo HD projector in one of our writers' home theater systems. It hasn't caused us one lick of trouble.
Cables to Go (aka "Impact Acoustics") is an American company, based in Ohio, specializing in all types of cables, connectors and switching components. They may not be a household name, but they're a solid brand with a proven track record of quality and reliability.
Many of the "cheaper" cables offered by marketplace sellers come with hidden costs that you won't see until check-out, namely high shipping and handling fees. But Cables To Go cables bought from Amazon.com can be shipped free (orders over $25), which brings their price down to an extremely reasonable level.
Don't be taken in by the claims of high-priced cable manufacturers, but neither should you believe that a $1 or $2 no-name cable is going to be the equivalent of a cable from a reputable brand. The truth lies somewhere in between.
Works as well as supplied cable.......2007-09-15
I have a sony dvd with 1080i uplink which came with a 5 ft. cable. This cable works as well as the supplied cable and it is 3x the length.
Great Product, Low Price.......2007-06-01
Great price for such a long cable. Used it with my HDMI Slot on my panasonic HD plamsa. Extemelly happy with quality it delivers from my DVD SRS system to my HDTV. Would recommend this product to anyone who has the ability to upgrade to HDMI.
HDMI Cables why so Expensive.......2007-05-12
I do not know if spending $60-$80 for a 16ft HDMI cable at BB or CC would have given me any better a picture than this one that I spent $20 for. I use Comcast Cable and the picture on the HD channels, i.e. Discovery Channel, are so sharp you amost feel like the images on the screen are right there in the room with you. Shipping was outstanding, received the cables 4 days after I ordered them. Have always had good expeience with Amazon.com.
HDMI cable without the MONSTER price.......2007-02-24
A funny thing about digital signals, is that they are either a 1 or a 0. Unlike analogue, where quality can degrade or time or distance, in digital you either get the signal or you don't. That being said, this is a great cable, it works well, and it's drastically less expensive than MONSTER cables. I'm sure someone will argue my logic, as they can't believe that less expensive cables could ever do the same job, but this product works and you'll be happy with it.

Good value.......2007-10-07
The cable connects my MacBook Pro DVI output to a HDMI input on my new digital TV and gives great quality photo display. Cable length does not seem to be an issue at all.
Good Cable.......2007-09-06
I bought this cable to conect a pc to a hdtv LCD, it works great, there is no
interference at all, and the image looks perfect and beutifull in my hdtv lcd.
Works Just Fine.......2007-05-06
Purchased to hook up my DISH HD tuner to new SONY LCD projection television (wanted to reduce the number of component cables used). Picture appears to be fine on both standard and high definition channels. It would have been ridiculous to spend a lot more for a Monster cable, especially since I only receive 6 HD channels. This cable works just fine (please note, that if you have a lot of wireless transmission equipment near your cables, you may want to purchase Monster cable for its heavy shielding to ensure prevention of any inteference). I did however, purchase a HDMI to HDMI Monster cable for hooking up my SONY upscaling DVD player (both purchased on Amazon). In that case I wanted to ensure that I received the best DVD picture possible for my movie collection. I hope this helps Amazon viewers to decide which cables to purchase; and to possibly save a few bucks when purchasing DVI/HDMI video cables.
A complete disaster.......2007-03-20
I could use this product as the DVI plug did not fit on the DVI outlet of my computer.
AVOID!!!
VGA Card to Plasma.......2007-03-14
My ATI card has VGA and DVI output. I wanted to view PC video on my new plasma. I first tried through DVI to S-video. While it work, the picture wasn't nearly what I had hoped for. I then ordered the DVI to HDMI cable. WOW! Picture is rock solid and everything I had hoped for.

Great quality,.. better price........2007-05-08
Let's face it in this digital age as long as your AV equipment is able to get all the necessary 0s and 1s you're set. There is no need to go out and waste money on Monster Cable wires, this does just fine. I use this 25ft long cable to connect my roof-mounted HD projector to my AV equipment. Needless to say, it works super well.
Works as advertised.......2007-01-09
Great price for the length of the cable (25ft)...works well with Samsung Plasma and Panasonic home theater System
