The StarTech HDMI cables are great and relay perfect picture and sound. The problem here is with Amazon and the Amazon Marketplace. I have three Startech HDMI cables in my home theater setup. I recently order a fourth, or so I thought. If you order from one of Amazon's Marketplace vendors, you are not guaranteed to get an actual StarTech HDMI RoHS compliant cable. In fact, you'll get pot luck of whatever 15ft (in the case of my order) HDMI cable the vendor has in stock. Obviously it costs more, but make sure your StarTech cable is sold by and shipped from Amazon to guarantee you are getting the HDMI cable you intend to purchase.

Hey folks...don't get into the hype that Monster (or your AV guy) wants to feed you. Gold-plated yada yada is just marketing. You are transmitting 1111s and 0000s, not a analog signal. So go cheaper and be wowed!!!

It's hard to believe that this product is a better quality than those found at Radio Shack, for about 25% of the price. A friend who is "up" on electronics recommended these, and they are awesome.

what ever you do don't waste your money at any electronic store for an hdmi cable. when i bought my plasma, i also purchased a 12 foot hdmi cable for over an 100 dollars. i bought the startech for my playstation 3 and there is no difference between the two cables.

Works fine. I think that fittings are not gold plated but so what.

Cable is less flexible than the more expensive one that I replaced and doesn't lay as well but who cares.

Picture and sound are fine

Great cable. Works. Cheap. Using this as the primary link to a Pioneer Elite Pro-110FD 50" 1080p plasma from a Pioneer Elite VSX-94TXH receiver. Other components connected to the receiver use various HDMI cables - all are non-name brand HDMI cables. System works great - no issues at all. 1080p @ 24p Blu-ray looks awesome. Sounds great. NO NEED TO PURCHASE EXPENSIVE CABLES!!! Cable is routed around numerous power cords, coax, etc. - no interference of any type. Have the 25' version of this cable connected to a Sharp 1080p LCD and they work great as well.

I connected this from my PS3 to my vizio 32" and it works straight out of the box. I am not sure if the cable supports full 1080p? Anyone knows? Waiting to try it on my Panasonic AE1000U projector.

The quality of the pictures on my new TV when hooked to the computer with this cable are stunning.

This cable works fine at a fraction of the cost of an equivalent Monster cable. It's just plastic and wire, after all!

This was the first hdmi cable i ever bought. I was told by friends that expensive cables didn't offer more quality. After this experience, I don't know if I believe it. I read all the reviews and thought how great is it to find an $15 hdmi cable. Well now I am out $15 and have to find a new cable.

Problems:
1. Seller is listed as hdmi king through amazon.com. Yet it comes to me through some Abascus123 seller??? When I try to return it I have to contact some third party. Never had this experience when Amazon's name is on it. Packaging was just a mailina envelope with the cord. Seemed like it wasn't new.
2. The picture was fuzzy, it was like a 1985 TV screen! My component cables were very picture perfect.
3. After 2 weeks, the fuzziness slowly got worse. Now when any part of the screen goes black, blue lines streak across the screen. So much for HDTV! And yes, all the cords are plugged in tight and I haven't run over them with a lawnmower or anything.

Just want to share before you think you are getting a good deal but may waste money. Maybe it is just my cord or the seller that sold it to me. I am surprised by amazon's quality to ship my order off to some third party. This is the first time I have received an item "supposedly" sold by Amazon.com but did not show up in an Amazon labeled box.
