Do yourself a favor and don't buy these.

yes, I know it's only a dollar and change. But there are several other better, and only slightly more expensive options out there.

I have a brand new samsung 46" LED, and when I bought it I jumped on Amazon and bought 3 different types of discount HDMI cables, including this one here, and these other two which were much better:

HDMI TO HDMI 6 foot cable

and

Cables Unlimited 6-Foot HDMI Male to Male Cable (PCM-2295-06)


The cables listed here were poor performers compared to the other two I have linked. There was much more obvious lag and pixellation, especially while gaming or watching blueray. If you only have 480i or whatever I guess they'd do the trick, but don't be a total cheapo, you will be kicking yourself for not spending the extra 3-5 bucks on the other products I have linked to. And no, I have no monetary interest in the others, I'm just saying they're much better products at a more than reasonable price.

Shipping took a couple of days longer than I thought, but it was worth the wait.

I was a little wary about the exceptionally low price and I also wanted to use my Amazon prime account to get fast & free shipping (meant paying more for the cable though). This arrived in two days, super fast shipping!! Very happy with the product, works great!! Even ordered another one a few days later. ~$3 for a 6 ft HDMI cable, awesome!

I used to buy the expensive cables, now I buy these. Haven't noticed a difference yet, got a few cheap hdmi cables, a hdmi/dvi cable, and an optical audio cable. Work great.

These cables are great they even work for 3D. Cheap fast shipping packaged nicely can't expect more! Oh and they aren't $40 like at the store.

Pros: Works as advertised. Good picture and audio quality. Inexpensive.

Cons: None.

Overall Assessment: I'd buy it again

Retail stores mark up the price of cables to an insane degree. There's no reason to pay $60+ for a simple 6ft HDMI cable with some fancy-pants brand's logo on it (especially when the cost to the store was closer to $5). I bought a handful of these cables and am very satisfied. I had one cable start giving me problems after about 6 months, but I bought extras to cover just this kind of situation. Even if I had to replace the cable monthly, it would still be cheaper than the equivalent cable at my local electronics store.

My only negative about this cable is the plastic molding around the connector. It's a bit on the bulky side compared to some other cables. On my TV, I don't quite have enough room to plug two cables in side-by-side. I don't have that problem on any of my other HDMI devices, though, so YMMV.

There is no reason to spend $100 on an HDMI cable. The first cable i bought was for my PlayStation 3 and cost $40-50 dollars. There is no difference between this cable and the cable that i paid much more for (except the more expensive cable is an ugly red color). Once you use an HDMI cable you wont be able to go back to the old video cables. It is so much smaller, more convenient, and universal.

There is absolutely no reason to pay even close to the brick-and-mortar store price for HDMI cables. These cable provide excellent video and sound transmission, and cost next to nothing.

I am currently using 5 of these cables throughout my home, with the longest amount of time coming in at just under two years. I haven't had a single cable fail on me in any way.

Love getting cables from Amazon in general. I have had good luck with them and considering the price differential from the stores its def worth the money. This cable follows that. Connected my XBox 360 to my TV and it works just fine...and it was significantly cheaper than the Best Buy cables!

I really cannot say anything bad about these cables. You do not need name brand cables. These cost pennies compared to anything with a brand on it. We have had no issues with them, the picture and sound is perfect, and they show no difference from the name brand cable I also own.
