This is a great HDMI cord, however it is not perfect (no cord is perfect, but this comes as close to it as you can), let me explain. To achieve a great setup you need two things, one is a great cord that is capable of delivering the signal throughout its length and a transmitter (cable box) that produces a signal strong enough to reach the full length run of cord.

There are many 50' cords that claim they can deliver the true signal throughout their length, not alone a 65' cord like this one, but 99% are lying or using such a strong signal it would be impractical to replicate in a residential setting. This cord is thick and made of high quality materials and is not easy to bend at first but it'll come around after a little unrolling and unraveling. I, like many people didn't want to spend a lot of money on a cord because a cheap ($3.00) 6' cord will work just as well as an expensive ($50.00) 6' cord. I have many cheap short cords myself. Anyway so you say to yourself isn't it the same for a 50' cord, no and let me explain why.

The longer the cord is the more the cord has to resist degrading over the run so the cord has to start out with a better signal in the beginning. This is accomplished by making the cord of higher quality materials (example: better copper, thicker copper 24 gauge, better shielding, etc.) so when it reaches the other end this signal has degraded so minimally that it is unnoticeable (this would be unrealistic in normal inexpensive cords of over 40').

In this cords case the signal starts off at HDMI 1.3 and exits at HDMI 1.2 (which is excellent for anything over 40' in length, not alone 65'). Now that we have a cable that can deliver the signal, the second part of the equation is the signal transmitter (example: cable box, ps3, xbox360, computer, etc.). I have dish network and the signal from our cable box is strong enough but it is newer and only 18 months old so an older box may not be able to do it, but you are not out of luck because there are small AC adapters that can be attached at the transmitting end which will almost guarantee the signal will work, the reason I am saying this is because I know the PS3 does not start with the signal strength needed to get through 65' but with a $20 signal booster adapter it works fine.

This company Accell does make even a better cord with a signal booster built in but that cord is about $35 more and it might not be necessary. If a booster is needed you can get one for $20 (online) instead so it's a win-win. With this cord you know one part of the equation is solved and all you have to do is work on the second part which will most likely need nothing but to plugged in! There's nothing more frustrating than trying to figure out why you can't get a picture but its nice to know that if it doesn't work you know its not the HDMI cord. The reason I said it wasn't prefect in the beginning was because it won't transmit the weaker PS3 or Xbox360 signal 65' without an AC signal booster (if it did it would be prefect but no cord this long can do it).

Oh and one more thing, this cord is rated by UL (Underwriters Laboratory) that's what really sold me because if you know who they are you will know that if they put their stamp of approval on it, it's a no brainer that it will work:) Hope this helped.

I ordered this cable to connect another LCD television located in another part of the house to my DirecTV H-21 receiver. I had to run this cable under the house and back up through the floor, and I must say it wasn't a gentle job, but the cable held up and provides great auido and video after a 10 meter (33feet) run. If you're looking for a long dependable HDMI/HDMI cable that's heavy and well built this is a great buy.

Recently I was looking for a HDMI cable to connect my Panasonic 1080p up-converting DVD player and a Optoma HD70 DLP projector. After I researched many products, I ordered this 33 ft cable from Amazon. Although it is 33 ft long, the quality that this cable delivers to my project is unbelievable. The movie shown on the Optoma 92" Panaview is stunning. While watching Shrek the Third on teh projector, the color is so vivid and I feel that the characters were jumping out of the screen. On the close-up of Shrek, I almost feel that I am watching the movie on a 1080p LCD. I hightly recommend this cable for the price under $50 with a great quality.

This is the max length per standards for HDMI cabling. Works fine. The cable goes up a wall , across a bit of attic, and back down to the HDTV. The only issue was that the cable is pretty stiff and that makes it a bit more troublesome to pull if you are doing it alone.

Works flawlessly. I have a centralized audio/video distribution setup and this cable worked without a hitch. I'm using it with a 4x1 HDMI switch into an 8-way active HDMI splitter and the picture quality is great. Primary source is a DirecTV HD DVR and an OTA antenna for my locals (1080i and 720p) and this cable is connecting to an LG 50" plasma (720p).

Worked well for over a month, delivered the signal perfectly to my 1080p projector across the room. I wanted to reposition my projector, so I pulled out the cable, only the end remained stuck in the projector and I was sitting there with the cable in hand. I tried to put it back in place, but the amount of pins close to each other makes it impossible. You get what you pay for, it works, does the trick cheaply, but handle with care! Upgraded to 3 stars from 2 after a good RMA experience, despite it taking quite a while to get it back. Works again

I am using this cable to run from my desktop computer to my 42" Panasonic G15. I put my computer next to the TV and tested it to see if there was any degradation between this 32ft cable and the 6ft monster cable I bought at Best Buy for about the same price. I couldn't see any difference between the two. I was really impressed with the "feel" of the cable in terms of build and durability. I highly recommend to anyone who needs a longer than average HDMI cable.

Man, was I happy to find a 32-ft cable for my media room at a decent price. The other good reviews sold me on this one. Go Amazon, right? I had a heck of a time crawling through my attic and fishing this cable down through my wall. At first, the cable worked as it should, turn on projector, plug into receiver and voila! But the slightest bit of movement caused the connector to completely come apart. The cable itself seems thick, well shielded, and provided a good image quality, but it seems like they went ultra cheap on the connectors. I would've rather paid a little extra, than to have to get a new cable and re-fish it through my attic.

No sparkles! Im using an Optoma HD20 and it looks GREAT in full 1080p. This cables are very thick and not too easy to manage outside walls.

I needed a long run of HDMI cable to my projector. This cable is available at an excellent price, but I was a bit worried at first due to the possibility of decreased signal strength from the long cable run. I was pleasantly surprised when I received the package. The cable is very well constructed with gold end platings. I'm not sure how the construction is internally, but I've had zero problems with this cable over the 10 meter length. Definitely would recommend this product.
