Does not work for 1080p, December 23, 2009
This review is from: HDMI M / M Cable, 50 FT / 15 M (Electronics)
Pros: cheap price, long length, works up to 1080i
Cons: does not work with 1080p
I am using this cable to connect my computer to a 47" LCD. It works perfectly up to 1080i. With 1080p (both 50 and 60 Hz), there is much extra green and some blue band distortion, indicating the cable cannot deliver the bandwidth necessary for these resolutions.
For my use, since I'm not willing to pay for a more expensive cable at this time, I will be using 1080i. In the future, I'll be upgrading the cable to one that can do 1080p 60Hz.
If all you need a long cable up to 1080i, this cable is an excellent deal. If you need 1080p, this cable will not be usable.

Awesome Cable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, December 8, 2010
This review is from: HDMI M / M Cable, 50 FT / 15 M (Electronics)
Well, to start with, this cable will not blow you away from its actual look, but its functionality is the key element here. The cable is actually able to reproduce 1080P from devices that are able to reproduce 1080P graphics. Example of this is one common problem that many people around here(comment/reviews area) encounter as the main downside of the cable. If you want to connect your laptop to your HDTV, first you need to have a laptop/desktop with a capable-to-reproduce-1080P graphics card, and second to have a 1080P Full HDTV. If you got a 720P(or less) laptop/desktop screen resolution(or graphics card related), DO NOT expect this cable to make you the miracle and reproduce your output signal in 1080P on your TV(assuming that your TV is a 1080p FULL). Got to have both devices with this capability(1080p FULL); otherwise, it won't do the miracle for you. So for those complaining about this cable, suck it up and get the right equipment before you comment about something you have no clue of its functionality.
Steps to follow IF you want to get 1080P full:
1- Get a 1080p FULL LCD or TV
2- Get a laptop/desktop(HDMI direct INPUT(no adapters)) that has an ATI(gaming card)/NVIDIA/ or any other graphic cards that are able to reproduce or support 1080p Fluid motion( not just mimic it; just like some 720p TVs or monitors do nowadays).
2- If you're using a desktop, you need to get a display(monitor) with a resolution equal to 1600 x 900 or higher. The same goes for laptops.
3- Plug the cable on each device. Note: if you're using your computer with Windows 7 Ultimate, it most likely, the monitor recognition will be automatic.
4- Enjoy!!!
If your TV is higher(in resolution)than your computer, then the image you'll see on your TV will NOT take the whole LCD screen(full screen). The signal will only take the exact resolution of your computer(LCD or monitor) on your HDTV(it scales the signal but keeping the 1080P resolution ALWAYS).
Hope this review helps.
