I ordered this not expecting much more than an inexpensive 1.3-compliant HDMI cable. What showed up and I installed is what appears to be the exact same cable as a $60 Monster premium cable I had already connecting another piece of equipment. I have since ordered two more. The cable, connectors - everything about this cable are EXACTLY the same as the higher end Monster cable except no Monster logo and no Monster price (pun intended).

As for performance, there is nothing wrong with this cable - works great. I have it connected from a 1.3a compliant Toshiba A35 HD DVD to a 1.3a compliant Onkyo SR705 Receiver then up to a 1080p LCD. Picture, sounds, everything is excellent.

Don't waste your money on more expensive cables.

Works just as well as all the other overpriced brand name cables (you know who you are!) Have this hooked up to my PS3/ Blu-ray and the picture on my 62" TV in 1080i is awesome (sorry, don't have 1080p to comment on). Comparing pictures with an older $3 HDMI cable attached to an upconverting DVD player showed only subtle difference. Sound is definately improved as the v1.3 HDMI supports better sound standards. Don't be suckered into paying extra for an over-hyped brand name!

I purchased this cable to hook-up my PS3 to my Vizio HDTV and it works awesomely! I knew nothing about HDMI cables until I did some research and took a chance with purchasing this less expensive wire, and I'm so happy that I did. Before purchasing this cable, I used the basic cables that came with my PS3 to hook-up with my TV and the graphics were horrible. I almost spent $50 or more on a different, so-called "high-end" HDMI cable until I saw this wire and took a chance. Now, the graphics of my PS3 and Blu-ray DVD's look just as good as all the display models you see in stores. I couldn't be happier with this cable; my games and DVD's look awesome, I saved God knows how much money, and I'd recommend this cable to anybody. (February 2008).

I recieved this product 2 months ago and it was working perfect up untill a week ago. It just stoped. The picture would not go through. I've been very caregful not to bump anything up to it. I'm not sure what caused this failier but it is a disapointment and a inconvenience.

I had a bad experience with this product. Worked great for about 2 weeks, and then I had to move. When I went to disconnect the end that was in my A/V receiver the cable came out, but the gold metal cover came off. Looks like the little bit of solder they used wasn't strong enough. I looked at the other end, and it seemed to be fine. As far as audio or video, the cable worked fine. If you never touch the cable, it might work for you.

After a couple of weeks with this cable and a new 120hz 1080p tv, I have found no faults with this cable. I payed something like $22 for this cable compared to the $130 for the name brand cable. It processes at 10.2 gps of which makes blu-ray movie experience awesome! I do recommend this cable over the name brand!

hi everyone, i have to post a bad review. the cables look GREAT...they look strong and quality. BUT! after i took them off a couple times to move them from my ps3 to my dvd player to another room, the fricken gold clip part of the hdmi connector broke off. its only been like a month! i swear im a real buyer. if you buy these cables and arent going to need to move them around i suppose their find. but the build quality is totally made in China! well be warned you get what you pay for.

I bought two of these at the same time. Plugged one into the PS3 and the other into the HD cable box. A day later, I had no cable signal. After messing around with it for hours, I finally ran a test by connecting each cable to 3 different input sources, the PS3, an HD camcorder, and the cable box. One cable worked on all three, the other wouldn't work at all. Amazon return policy means this problem didn't cost me any money but I did waste quite a bit of time trying to figure out why I had no signal.

So either these things are incredibly fragile and literally unpacking and plugging them in can cause damage (note I see no damage to any part of the cable) or one was defective.

The one that works has been handled just the same and has no problems, great picture, etc.

the head of the cable broke off with minimal force. very poor quality. would not recommend.

This won't be the first or last review you've read that says this, but I'm gonna say it again: there is absolutely no need to spend $60, $80, $100+ on expensive cables by Monster and other similar companies. I bought this cable for use with my newly-purchased PS3 and it works just fine.
