When I bought my LCD TV, I paid a fortune for an HDMI cable at the retail store. Stupid me, I should have known better about the outrageous markups many retail stores put on video accessories. Recently, I bought several of these cables at a fraction of the price I paid for that first one, and I used them to connect a Blu-ray player, an Xbox360, and an audio/video receiver. Even with the high shipping cost, these cables are much cheaper than I found elsewhere. And they work just fine.

Remember, HDMI cables transfer digital info -- they pass bits, not an analog signal -- so, basically, they either work or they don't work. You'll either see the complete picture and hear the audio, or you won't (if the cable is defective). These are not like analog cables where cheaper, poor-quality cables can result in a poorer picture or sound. So if you get any HDMI cable that works, you won't get any better quality by paying for more expensive HDMI cables. Reviewers that say they see a poorer picture with cheaper HDMI cables are fooling themselves and don't understand digital vs. analog.

I just got this cable to hook my XBox 360 up to my new 42" Phillips LCD. I was a little worried at first that I wasn't getting what I needed, but was right on with it. The 1.3a Category 2 HDMI cable is definitely the way to go. It's amazing to see how many places are charging $40 - $50 for the same thing so they can put a popular name on it.

I got this cable while playing Fallout 3 and immediately noticed the difference in the small detail and sound quality. Not sure if I would pay what others are charging for this cable, but for $3 and $3 S&H YOU CAN'T GO WRONG!

I would recommend this HDMI cable to everyone. The screen is perfect, you don't need to buy any costly HDMI cables. Just buy this cable you won't regret.

For the price, this item can't be beat! The 1080P picture and HD sound are fantastic! No need to buy $100 Monster Cable, this works the same.

These cables are great!! The quality is excellent and the price is definitely right. Looked at several other cables before I found these and other than being 30-50 times more expensive, there was absolutely NO benefit in using the name brands.

Using these cables for my ps3 and they work great. I have a samsung tv and i get amazing picture quality. Don't hesitate cause of the price the cables do the job!!!

Great item shipped quickly. Looks to me as good as the $80 cables being pushed by Bestbuy.

These cables are a great savings compared to the big stores and work great, make sure you select HDMI cables that are category 2 full 1080 capable. Will buy these again.

After I bought my PS3, I was still using the RWY cables that came with the system. I definitely wanted to utilize the high definition aspect of my television for my PS3. The video quality is vastly superior to that when using standard cables so you need these cables.

Just to echo what everyone else here is saying, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this cable. I was a little nervous about spending so little to connect such expensive equipment (I used it to connect my new PS3 slim to a 46" Panasonic Plasma TV), but my fears were put to rest as soon as I pushed the power buttons.

The cable itself doesn't feel as sturdy as other spendy cables I've seen, but as long as you don't have a cat or something that is going to chew through it, you should be fine.

I've been using this cable quite I bit in the month since I received it, and I've had absolutely no problems.

Don't hesitate to buy one...or five.
