one potential problem
This is a great cable at a great price.
There is one problem that may potentially affect you though. The height of the HDMI connector is quite high (ie it is thick). Whereas many of these connectors are around 1/4 inch tall, this one is 7/8 inch. There is some a/v equipment out there that doesn't have enough room for this connector. My SONY LCD projector...

Great cable, except for one thing....
It didn't work. I plugged the cable in, and... nothing. I tried different HDMI input, and still nothing. I finally found that I could sometimes make it work if I fiddled with it a bit while the DVD player was running, but if I turned the DVD player off and restarted it, the cable would go back to not working.

My SONY LCD projector falls into this category.
What I ended up doing was to get a small (1 foot) m-f HDMI cable extender, and this ended up with a male plug small enough to fit into the projector connector.
This probably won't affect you, but measure your input connector area just in case.

I tried a different cable to make sure this cable was the problem rather than the inputs on the TV and DVD players, and everything worked fine. This cable was definitely the problem.

Let's face it in this digital age as long as your AV equipment is able to get all the necessary 0s and 1s you're set. There is no need to go out and waste money on Monster Cable wires, this does just fine. I use this 25ft long cable to connect my roof-mounted HD projector to my AV equipment. Needless to say, it works super well.

Deliverd to Canada this cable cost me less than $30.00. It works perfect.
Best buy Sells the comparable monster hdmi1000hd 10m hdmi cable for $399.99.
Unlike Analog signals, with an HDMI Digital, the signal either makes it to your equiptment, or it doesn't. there is not "weak" or "better" picture, plain and simple, it either works, or it does not, all or nothing, 1's and 0's, you get the point.
It Blows me away that companies like best buy can charge that much for a cable.

These are great quality cables. I use two of these with a Sharp 32" LCD 1080P TV. Blu-ray looks great and regular cable HDTV is good. No need to buy expensive cables - these work fine and are a great deal for the $$.

I recently bought this 25 foot HDMI cable to connect my new blu-ray player to my new flatscreen. Potential customer beware - while it does run the components at 1080i - it does not support 1080p. I know its the cable, because I have a few other HDMI cables, albeit 6 foot lengths, that do run the components at 1080p. It could be the 25ft length that does something to the signal - either way - buy another cable.

I bought the cable because of the good reviews. Unfortunatley for me the cable didn't work. It looked very well to me, a very thick and well done cable, but didnt work, no image at all! also the connector could be easyly pulled out, somehow it didnt stayed in its place so I will have to buy a new one because I live in Mexico and shipping is so expensive, it isnt worth to return it. Bad product. Maybe its the first bad experience with this cable, but be aware.

Doesn't support 1080p between my Sony Playstation 3 and Samsung 6000 series TV. Works at 1080i and lower, but simply refused to work with 1080p.
I'm sure it's the cable, as I switched to a different HDMI cable (same long length, different brand) and that works fine.
(And yes, I had tried disconnecting and reconnecting this cable several times, and trying different ports on the TV, etc.)
