I recently had the opportunity to test these HDMI cables with equipment
running at 1080p 60Hz with HDCP 148.5MHz The results were very positive.

Please note that success at 1080p depends on a lot of factors including quality
of TMDS transmitters, receivers, and anything you might have connected to the
cables like HDMI switches, repeaters, HDMI>DVD adapters, etc., therefore these
test results should be taken as a data point and not as a guarantee the cables
will be problem free @ 1080p with your specific equipment.

For example, during initial testing I had discovered through process of elimination
that one of the HDMI>DVI adapters I was using could not reliably pass 1080p. At
first I thought the cables were the issue, but after switching out the adapters, the
cables worked great.

Also please note, even though some of these cables are listed as only 1080i certified,
they did nevertheless pass 1080p without issues for the equipment combination I used.
See this post for what was tested at the factory:
[...]

The process of listing a cable as passing visual inspection involved looking at black
screen for 30 seconds to detect sparkles, then watching video for 1 minute to detect
additional artifacts.

Sharp LC45GX6U is a 1920x1080 LCD display which accepts 1080p and 1080p/hdcp when
devices are connected directly to the panel, bypassing the external video processor.

Hope you find this information useful.

This is the first HDMI cable I have ever had and I love it. I've had it for about a month with no problems. I bought it for my Xbox 360 to get a sharper image from the regular AV cables and the picture was much better.

Does not support audio, is hard to insert, and is intermittent. At this low price I did not expect too much, and my low expectations were under-achieved! Pay a bit more and get a cable that really does the job reliably.

I ordered 2 of these cables despite the numerous bad reviews, well they arrived on time however neither of them work. Buyer beware.

Very good price, received promptly. Cable is well made and works as intended. Using for 27 inch PC monitor and very satisfied with performance.

Great Cables. Really cheap and work great. Just as good as the 60$ cables you buy at any store. Compared to the Monster HDMI wires I see no difference other than Price.

It works great and I didn't have to buy a monster cable for $59. The item arrived on time and matched the description. I highly recommend this product

Don't bother spending the money for high dollar cables. This works just as good if not better and is a very flexible cable, unlike some stiff cables.

Excellent quality cables at a remarkably low price. Better than a cable I paid over $20 for at B@st B@y. Ordered 9/14, delivered 9/17. Absolutely no complaints.

All I have to say is that this is the best HDMI cable I have purchased thus far it is a great price for the Quality and beats the others that are generic copys
