Although the wire covering of the Pure AV cable is funky -- more of a stiff nylon mesh than the more standard rubberized exterior -- it seems durable, more so than the cheaper, thinner cables I've seen. The 24K gold connectors and copper conductors are meant to reduce signal distortion, and, while I can't say whether they work better than even cheaper cables, I can't tell the difference between the Pure AV and the much more expensive Monster HDMI 1000HD Ultra-High Speed HDMI Cable (2 meters). I recommend going for this less expensive option unless you're a Monster cable aficionado. The ability to transmit 8-channel surround sound as well as HD video is comparable.

Especially when hooking up a larger HD television, the extra length that this particular HDMI cable provides is important. The common length of 6 feet goes nowhere unless you're connecting directly under the television itself. Depending on your set-up, your HD cable box or player may be located at the opposite side of your connections; a six foot cable will barely go from one side to another of a 52" set, let alone have room for the connection.

If you're buying a Blu-Ray player or other HD content provider, you'll need an HDMI cable for best quality video and audio, provided, of course, that your set has an HDMI connection. The difference between composite video and HDMI is noticeable. You'll want to get the most out of your HD equipment, and this reasonably-priced cable is a good option.

Needed 3 longer HDMI cables; couldn't believe what the big box stores wanted! (Around $100 each.) Found these online and thought there had to be a catch. But they work perfectly. We even switched back and forth with the 'installed' cables, and couldn't detect any differences.

I'm glad I found this product. A comparable one at Wal-Mart was going for around $56.00. The cable works fine, and seems to be sturdy and well-built. I'd recommend it to anyone who doesn't need designer HDMI cables.

I don't see the point in buying Monster Cable when this one works just as well or better. I use it for my PS3 and 52" HDTV and am very satisfied.

why pay more for cables that do the same thing? I would reccomend these cables to everyone. Even the guys who installed me LCD told me they were great.

forget those higher priced cables - unless you are an ohm meter there is no need to pay more.

I've only used it a couple of times (to hook up my laptop to my digital TV - great for instantly watching netflix shows/movies online), but it appears to work well and is much cheaper than products with the same specs sold in stores.

I bought this cable to connect my Dell XPS m1530 to my HDTV. The cable is quite lengthy, and appears to be very durable. The image quality was excellent once all the necessary settings and adjustments were made on my laptop. Overall highly recommended due to quality and price.

Great Product, much cheaper then Monster and works great. Rec'd in good original packaging. Only issue was it took 2 weeks to receive from Order date.

I just bought a new high end receiver and flat TV (120 & 1080) and was concerned about cable quality. I read that the $100 dollar cables are not necessary. They were right. From the PS3 to the WII to TV and DVD's everything looks perfect.
Don't be a sucker and buy a more expensive cable.
