I bought these from Amazon last fall to connect my DVD player to my new HD. I did not want to shell out the $100 for monster cables and figured I could only lose $8 getting these. They have worked out very well! I am very impressed with the signal quality. I compared my picture recently to a friends. While we both have rear project HD sets, we have different brands of TV and DVD. He has monster cables. I did not see any difference in the appearance compared to my setup.

Save yourself the money and get these. They work great!

These work exactly as expected - the quality of my DVD playback went up considerably. I really haven't compared to other brands, say, Monster, but according to other reviews, these work just as well. One difference from other cables may be that these are not gold plated (and to be fair, the manufacturer does not claim they are), so if you are looking for specifically gold plated cables, these are not for you. But in every other sense, these are very good value for money.

But I can tell ZERO difference between this cable and a Monster that cost more than 3x more. Of course, this is noticably better than hooking up three old-style stereo RCA cables to my component video jacks (which is what I was doing before :) but when I did an experiment and hooked up my friend's $60 cable, I noticed ZERO improvement. The only way I was able to get a better picture was to start using the HDMI input.

This cable was used to connect a DVD to an LCD HDTV. Perfect picture... and you cannot find a better price. There is no need to buy the high-end cables as it looks like the picture will not be high-end, just the price.

I bought 3 sets of these for my entertainment center. They work flawlessly. I laugh at people who purchase Monster Cables. These work just as good, and if you think you can tell a "difference" with Monster Cables, I challenge you to a double-blind test. You won't be able to tell any difference. My only complaint is that these cables are very thick, and hard to manuever in small quarters (i.e., through holes in the back of your entertainment center stand). If you are on a budget, these are the way to go.

I bought this product to enhance the picture of my HDTV. I have compared it against my HDMI and the pictures look very similar. The picture is far better than with AV cables. It's well worth the money.

I bought these cables to upgrade from my previous no name very cheap one, to see if i would get better quqlity.The truth be told, there was no diffrence but im using it anyway, after all, brand name sometimes gives u peace of mind.The Cable is very reasonable priced, dosent look to appealing but it does the job....

these cords are pretty cool for the money they deliver pretty good quality for my hd dvd and i am really satisfied

I just purchased these as an extra set. The price was so low that it was worth it.

This cable is good for the use. Why should I pay $40-$60 instead of this!
Worth for the price.
