I, like many people, was debating on whether I should buy a cheap HDMI cable or get an expensive cable such as Monster brand. I used to work at Best Buy in Home Theater and I know how a good cable can make a big difference, but didn't want to spend [..] for good quality. I researched for weeks and finally decided to try this one out because it is 1.3 (the most current standard) and it is a Category 2 cable (best category having Higher-quality construction with thicker wires 24gauge instead of 28gauge).
All I can say is WOW! I was not let down, this cable is just as good as those over priced Monster cables. Thick, High-quality Construction with braiding. GREAT Video Quality and Speed. I couldn't have found a better cable and for such a cheap price [..] after shipping!

These "PTC Group" brand "Premium Gold Series" 24 AWG HDMI cables are very robust. With 24 AWG conductors, the overall cable diameter is about 0.4 inches, so keep in mind that this cable cannot be bent to a small radius, or snaked through some tight spaces. The ends have huge strain reliefs (0.7 inches in diameter), so I'd imagine that these can survive a lot of abuse. The cable's bag indicated the product is ROHS compliant. Provided crystal clear 1080p video from my Sharp BD-HP20U Blu-Ray to Sharp Aquos LC-52D64U LCD Television.

This is a very nice, clearly well-constructed cable, with gold contacts, heavy gauge wire and strain reliefs, and glossy black braiding. They work wonderfully, and I was shocked at the low price after paying literally five times as much at the big electronics store. However, the cable is perhaps unnecessarily large and heavy, and so thick that if you have a lot of HDMI devices, these cables could take up more space than you'd like, both on the television or receiver you're plugging them into, and behind your stereo or tv stand.

I have mine connecting the tv to the cable box, and I worry a bit about the sheer weight of the thing stressing the input on the tv, and honestly don't think I could fit another in the next HDMI slot over. At the very least, you should get a look at these before you say, order six of them intending to connect all of your devices. They're great, but really may be overkill for normal use.
